Car racing as a metaphor for life is the theme of this beautiful story told in the first person by a dog named Enzo. Much of the philosophy is like what we've been taught at Unity Church: We are the creators of our own destiny. You are responsible for what you are and what you have done. Live in the moment. Your car goes where your eyes go (or as we say at church "What's held in mind produces in kind.")
While struggling with his lack of an opposable thumb and with a tongue that won't let him form words, Enzo reflects sensitively on the career and family problems of his owner, a professional race car driver. This is truly an excellent novel both for its plot and for Enzo's personality and philosophy.
