Wonderful wonderful book!! My husband got mad at me because I kept the lamp on late into the night because I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I will not pretend that it is a sappy, whimsical story about a pet, but it is heartwarming, tear-jerking at times, and absolutely worth reading. Enzo is a philosopher, car racing enthusiast, and beloved family pet. In his final days, he tells us his reflection on his life and what he has learned. There have been difficult moments over the years in Enzo's family, but he has remained a faithful friend and protector. It is so refreshing to see the world through the eyes of a loving, innocent, and goofy dog. So pull out some tissues, and read this book!
