Denny is a professional race car driver. His dog is Enzo and the book is told from the dog's point of view. Enzo believes when he dies he will come back as a human. Enzo watches Denny's life and has also learned things from watching television. Enzo sees Denny get married, have a child, have his wife pass away and then need to fight for custody of his daughter.

The author has Enzo hear parts of conversations or be included in things as they are happening. This is how Enzo has information to tell his story. Enzo has a good heart and wishes the best for people he loves and he tries to help them. The author is able to include many characteristics of Enzo and Denny; and Enzo relays all of this. The use of this technique did not distract from the story. It is a heart warming book with a lot of emotion.

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I liked it better the second time I read it because the first time I read it on the heels of a book with a much more "doggy" dog voice so it was hard to get into.
