My first tears as a man – apart from as an infant, which I do not recall – came when I was 18 and I learned the great Jim Clark had been killed. In a race in Germany. I do not race cars, but I am a pretty good driver, and I love to drive fast in the ran – on roads empty of cars and houses. I feel a car, each wheel, each part. So naturally I have loved Ferrari since a teen. I love dogs. I bond with each one I have, have ever had. So when I saw a book with a Golden Retriever peeping over the bottom of the cover of a book, and then saw the title was “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” I bought it. And read thru it. And have reread. I could detect a bit of the writer’s great skill on later reads. I preach it. Garth Stein, I owe you.

This book lives in my heart. I read it years ago, keep it on my shelf and cherish the memories as if Enzo was part of my family.
