"He picked me out of a pile of pups, a tangled mass of paws and tails. He'd stopped at the farm on his way home from the speedway at Yakima. Even back then, I knew I was different than other dogs. My soul just felt more human." – Enzo

Why watch this? Dog movies always get to me, and this one sure does!

Plot Summary: This dog tale is told from the perspective of a loyal golden retriever named Enzo, who believes he's meant to be reborn as a human. He chronicles the life of his human, race car driver Denny, observing his journey through love, family, and the challenges they face together.

Dad's Preview: It is a well-known fact that our family loves dogs (our family affectionately call them "Woogs"... it's a long story). This sweet canine story follows the life of Enzo, a delightful Golden Retriever, who loves this master with all his heart (show me a dog who doesn't). Enzo accepts his master's new bride, but more than anything, he loves to ride in his master's speedy race cars. It's safe to state that you need to bring a box of tissues.
