DESCRIPTION:
Creative and more thought-provoking than I thought it would be Lynda Polk As someone who is involved with racing, I can tell that Garth has done his homework here. As a general animal-lover, I couldn't imagine how the title could relate to a dog. This is easy to read - short chapters that consolidate various thoughts and actions. In fact, I couldn't put it down. I read the entire thing in 2 sittings, starting on the flight home from a race, irritated that I had to turn my Kindle off during landing.The story involves a guy who is an amateur racer - SCCA and that type - but still has a day job. He dreams of hitting the big time, and shares his thoughts and dreams with Enz. "Not very age appropriate" according to Heather. This was actually a very depressing book. I had originally bought it for my 9 year old because she needed to read a non fiction book for school. She didn't really like it much after the first few chapters. I ended up reading it and cried several times throughout. There were things in there that would've been way over her head and I don't think it's very suitable for a 9 year old..
