On the recommendation of a blogger friend, whom I believe was Janna (but not sure), I ordered "The Art Of Racing In The Rain" and finished it a few days ago.It is definitely one of the best books I've read and apparently many other readers think so as well, since it has received 318 reviews on Amazon and has a 4 1/2 star rating.
This book will touch you on so many levels. I will never look at a dog the same way again.
To quote one review: "On the eve of his death, Enzo (a dog) tells what amounts to his master's life story. Stein's attention to detail was amazing - the book reads like it was written by somebody who took the time to stop and think "what would a dog feel/do in this situation?" As a result, Enzo is memorable and lovable. He's at once a crotchety old man, and an innocent youth. He's wise, he's naive, and he is devoted."
Watch a great video about this book here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m21A77I4M0UM2A
Also, Tileena has the sweetest new video on her blog. "Potty Training Little Abby"..you'll love it. I promise!!!
Don't forget my newest giveaway (see details below).

I was me! :) I'm so glad you liked this book. It definitely holds the honor of "favorite" for me.
Janna- I thought it was you. Yay!
I loved the book. Thank you!!!
I love that it's written from the dog's perspective! I'll get it and read it!
I know it must be a wonderful book but, I can not read animal stories or watch animal movies, they breaks my heart.Especially if they die.
When I was a child my aunt gave a puppy and when she left my Daddy took it out and shot it. I just can't handle things like that.
Thanks for this recommendation (and you too Janna!). Sounds like a great read. I'd love to hear the dog's perspective.
Linda- Let me know how you like it.
Leslie- I'm so sorry that your heart was broken like that. Some things are hard to heal.
Joy- I think you'll like it as much as Janna and I do.
