And I cried more because of this, because he is all of these things and because he was being so unflinchingly brave and honest. But Enzo, the dog, is witty, hilarious, immensely introspective, brilliant and sensitive.
When you're an avid reader, you tend to immunize yourself to a really good laugh (or a good scare, although that wasn't at play here). But there were also many times when I laughed out loud, something I rarely do. There were many times where my tears were blurring my vision and I couldn't read further until I wiped my eyes sloppily. The book isn't short, but I read it on one Sunday. So when I read those first six pages and discovered how the story would unfold, I didn't think I could do it. As a doggy mom, I am more sensitive and I can't bear to think about certain things, whether peaceful or otherwise. I didn't buy the book then because, as an animal lover, I am especially sensitive to certain subjects. Although obviously written by a person (or my dog has some explaining to do as I was under the impression that dogs do not have opposable thumbs and can't write), it would be so interesting and heartwarming to read through a dog's perspective. Adorable and unique I have always wanted to know what it's like in the mind of a dog. I was pleasantly surprised to read the cover to find out it is written entirely from the perspective of a dog. I was meandering around Borders one Saturday when I saw a dog's head on the cover of a book, and since I am magnetized to animals (especially dogs), I had to pick it up and leaf through it.
