Anyone who has ever loved a dog should read this one
This book will take you by surprise! Written in the first person of a dog it tells the story of his life as well as the people around him. I have given this book to people of all ages and it has become a star in their lives. Even those who aren’t readers like myself.
I recommend this book for readers of any age, especially for dog lovers. It’s about what it means to be human, finding one’s passions and joy. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t loved this book, and it’s an easy read.
This has to be one of my all time favorites, highly recommend. I’m not even going to give any details or what I like about it…trust me, just read it 🙂
One of the best books I ever read and I’ve read many. Not the type of book I usually read but so glad I did!
One of my favorite books of all time.
If you like dog stories and are not afraid of crying as you read – this is a must read.
My favorite book ever.

The fact the story is told by the dog was just odd enough to make me give it a shot. But the character development is spot on and the story is a very good one. One of my favorite books in the last dozen years or so.
Who doesn’t love a book written in the perspective of a dog? If you’re looking for more laughs a la “Marley and Me,” this isn’t the book for you. Instead, this story is sweetly powerful with an unexpected intensity from the start. Enzo the dog is forever devoted to his owner, Denny, an up-and-coming race driver. We hear of Denny and Enzo’s journey …
My heart. This book had my heart. I recommend everyone to read it!
