Staff Review:

This book is told from the point of view of a man’s dog Enzo. The dog tells a funny yet deeply profound story of his life with his race car driving owner Denny. Having taught himself many things by watching television, Enzo has a great amount of insight into the human condition, and hopes that in his next life he will return as a human - with the opposable thumbs that intrigue him so. He tells the story of his life with Denny, and how he has watched Denny struggle through the loss of his wife Eve, and the emotional custody battle with Eve’s parents over their daughter Zoe.

This book is a definite page turner. It will make you laugh, cry, and truly wonder what your dog is thinking.
