Animal lovers everywhere, rejoice! This book tells the beautiful tale of a loyal, loving, and insightful dog named Enzo, and his incredible story will make you think long and hard about your own...

Enzo has always known that he is different, that he has a human soul that is trapped inside the body of a helpless dog. Enzo has remarkable wisdom about the human world. He is an old dog, prepared to die and reincarnate into a human. Enzo learns so much about the rest of the world simply by watching television, and by observing and listening to his kind master, Denny Swift, who (not unlike Enzo) dreams to one day become a famous race car driver. Enzo constantly compare life to being behind the wheel of a race car: the race isn't just about being in the front of the line for whole race and driving really fast. Instead, it is a series of complicated maneuvers to make it to the finish line of life. 

Even though Enzo feels threatened at first by Denny's new wife Eve, they soon create a unique bond, and Enzo senses a likeness he has to Eve. Enzo's inability to communicate with words infuriates him, especially when he begins to smell the cancer in Eve's head long before the doctor diagnosis her, and gives her the bad news about there being no cure.

After the loss of Eve, Enzo and Denny fight a three-year court case for Denny to gain custody of his daughter Zoe from his in-laws, or as Enzo calls them, the “Evil Twins.” Because of the court case about the false accusations of Denny being a sex offender, he misses so much time he could have spent growing up with his daughter, and passes up many opportunities for his racing career for the sake of Zoe.

A book that will put you to tears of both sadness and joy, The Art Of Racing In The Rain is an inspiration to anyone who reads it.
