Edition: First printing.

New York: Harper Collins, (2008) dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's third novel, set in Seattle, a look at life from the viewpoint of an old dog in his last days - a way of telling the story which works incredibly well to create a moving, sometimes humorous, sometimes wise, story. "Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast." 321 pp. ISBN: 978-0061537936.

Condition: Nearfine in a fine dust jacket (toning to edges of textblock, previous owner's name on front endpaper).
