This is a MUST READ for anyone who has ever loved a dog. As Enzo shares his life story in his own words, you will laugh, cry, get angry and spend time with your memories of your best canine friend.
Enzo is intimately involved in the daily lives of the Swift family. He shares in their dreams, thsir struggles, their sadness, and their joys as only a dog can.
I found this a book I wanted to read and reread many times as well as one to share with my friends.

I enjoyed this book very much. Having the dog tell the story made for some interesting interpretations of what was going on. Very well written! With an ending that makes you wonder.

What can I say about this book? What can I say about Enzo? Ultimately all I can say is that this book is one of the most inspiring books that I have read in my 19 years on this earth. Never have I been more captivated by the imagination of an author than I have with Garth Stein. This was my first time reading any of his works, and I must say that it is almost certain that I will read not only this book, but his others over and over again.
What do I like about Enzo other than his wit and charm? His determination. His understanding. His ability to use his actions to show Denny what he couldn't otherwise simply tell him. I admire Enzo's affection towards Eve and Zoë, and ultimately his dream to become a human.
I've learned a lot through this book about every day life too. As Enzo tells us in the book, 'racing is about discipline and intelligence, not about who has the heavier foot. The one who drives smart will always win in the end.'
Excellent seller; EXCELLENT book!!! November 4, 2008

This was a touching tale of a dog's life, written from his perspective. In a very funny, often thought-provoking and inspiring story, our hero not only understands his place in the world, he carves a place in the reader's heart. He teaches important life lessons in a simple, honest and straight-forward way. As is typical of his species, our narrator never is preachy, is rarely judgemental, and sometimes, like his human counterparts, falls in love with with a person he previously misjudged. His biggest yet most loveable fault? A sincere jealousy of humans' possession of opposable thumbs.
I predict you'll fall in love with Enzo and his story.
