“The perfect book for anyone who knows that compassion isn’t only for humans, and that the relationship between two souls who are meant for each other never really comes to an end. Every now and then I’m lucky enough to read a novel I can’t stop thinking about: this is one of them.” —Jodi Picoult

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Garth Stein’s 2008 heartfelt bestseller may be the only novel narrated by a dog that can bring you to tears. But it’s also howlingly funny—and that combination works particularly well in this audiobook adaptation. The late actor Christopher Evan Welch (Silicon Valley) handles the tumultuous story of headstrong race car driver Denny and his faithful canine companion, Enzo, with exceptional grace. He delivers the book’s mix of gut-wrenching family drama and deadpan humor without a hint of mawkish sentimentality. Welch’s performance is particularly moving when dealing with the subtle spiritual aspects of The Art of Racing in the Rain. Pro tip: Always have a hankie handy while listening.
