Product Description:
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver.
Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals.
On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man.
A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it.

This was one of the most wonderful books I have read. I have recommended it to everyone I know. Heartwarming, poignant and oh so enriching. Loved it!! The narrater also did such a great job. I hated for it to end but it ended in such a wonderful way. I've passed on my cd but am purchasing the book to keep and re-read again.

Very good story, engaging (or horrible)characters that were wonderfully and differently described from a special dog's perspective. The audiobook reader was excellent and I stayed up way too late listening. Highly recommended. I'll remember this for a long time!

I have read a number of books on tape and this was the first on CD. It is without question the best and most entertaining book on tape or CD to which I have ever listened.In fact, I have enjoyed it so much that I have now listened to it three times since purchasing it. I have told many people about it, have loaned them my set of CDs, and encouraged others to purchase it (which they have done). As a journalist and public relations practitioner who does a lot of writing, I have a great appreciation ... Read More

Such an engaging, involving story told by a wise, wonderful dog. Some of it has been so painful and other parts so delightful. All in all one of the best books I've heard in a long time.

"Garth Stein has managed to combine my two loves - racing and my dog - into a sometimes amusing, sometimes heartbreaking, literary masterpiece. >From one dog and racing lover to another, thanks for the ride."
