I learned that from a program on the National Geographic channel, so I believe it is true. Not all dogs return as men, they say; only those who are ready.
I am ready.”
On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side.
A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
This book is truly ingenious! The narrator is Enzo, the family dog. His perspective on how humans live and the emotions of our lives are weaved into this beautifully written story. It was so neat to look at it all through his eyes. Enzo tries so hard to be human-like, so when he becomes a human in his next life, he will be fully prepared.
I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is great! I have read that it is in development to be turned into a movie too! And we all know that I just love that!!!
