Do you ever wonder what your dog is thinking? In Garth Stein's best-selling novel, a dog named Enzo tells us exactly what he's thinking and feeling as he narrates a story of love, ambition, and heartbreak. Jodi Picoult called The Art of Racing in the Rain, “The perfect book for anyone who knows that compassion isn’t only for humans, and that the relationship between two souls who are meant for each other never really comes to an end."
