Enzo is different from other dogs, he has educated himself with the goal of returning in his next life as a human. He watches tv extensively, and listens very closely to the words of his master, racecar driver Denny Swift. He he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast.
It is an uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope.
