This book is great on so many levels. A customer recommended it to me, saying, "If you like dogs and car racing, then you'll love this book." But it is so much more. It has soul, love, devotion, philosophy, sadness, laugh-out-loud humor, and, yes, car racing -- all told from Enzo's (the dog!) point of view on the eve of his death. I loved it!
