Soon to be a major motion picture, this heart-warming and
inspirational tale follows Enzo, a loyal family dog, tells the
story of his human family, how they nearly fell apart, and what he
did to bring them back together. Enzo knows he is different from
other dogs: he thinks and feels in nearly human ways. He has
educated himself by watching extensive television, and by listening
very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an
up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo realizes that
racing is a metaphor: that by applying the techniques a driver
would apply on the race track, one can successfully navigate the
ordeals and travails one encounters in life. Enzo relates the story
of his human family, sharing their tragedies and triumphs. In the
end, despite what he sees as his own limitations as a dog, Enzo
comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family. The Art of
Racing in the Rain is a testament to a man's life, given by his
dog. But it is also a testament to the dog, himself. Though Enzo
cannot speak, he understands everything that happens around him as
he bears witness to his master's problems. His enforced muteness
only refines his listening ability, and allows him to understand
many of life's nuances that are lost on most humans. With humour,
sharp observation, and a courageous heart, Enzo guides the reader
to the bittersweet yet ultimately satisfying conclusion: there are
no limitations to what we can achieve, if we truly know where we
want to be.
