The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein
5.0
This is the dog book everyone should be reading. It was wonderful! It isn't a family book, but for those who want a dog book that isn't written to simply make you cry, here it is.
The dog is the narrator, and he is incredibly intelligent and observant. He is a key player in the plot, and you really get to see how pets can affect their humans for the better even though they have no words, "only gestures." This dog has aspirations and goals and just a wonderful heart, his name is Enzo.
There is a /lot/ of talk about formula one racing, which while it bored me, it was also such an important part of the lives of the man and his dog, so it was important.
The audiobook is only six hours, so this must be a reasonably quick read. I hope you'll give it a shot.
