The Art of Racing in the Rain

by Garth Stein

Let's imagine that all dogs have complex thoughts, and that this one particular dog can reason, learn, and articulate thoughts. This book is told from the dog Enzo's point of view. His owner is Denny, a race car driver, to whom Enzo is fabulously loyal. When Denny marries Eve, Enzo wonders and worries about this new intrusion into his life. Soon Zoe is born and Enzo has a new human to protect and serve. When Eve gets sick, life for Denny, Zoe and Enzo changes in ways they could never imagine. Funny, sad, fierce and wonderful - it's a quick read that will leave you feeling amazed by the connection between dogs and their humans.
