A greater appreciation for being home?

Being human is something that we all take for granted. Imagine being an animal with little control over what goes on around you.

Seeing the world through the dog's POV definitely makes me love my species! You see just how privileged we are just to be able to do the things we do and (like Scott mentioned) have thumbs and be able to communicate

We see just how helpless an animal can feel and I feel so privileged to have the power that I do to make a difference...

I think perhaps I appreciated the ability to use an express my words in a way to others, human ability to communicate, it an aspect that I appreciate a bit more after reading Enzo's story. However, I think the nonverbal cues that Enzo uses to express certain thoughts to Denny or other characters has a lot to be said as well. Then of course, having usable thumbs is great. Still, I don't think, after reading this, that I was more appreciative of being human, if anything it called my attention back to exploring things from a point of view other than my own.

I've always been kind of aware of how great it is to be human. I can't imagine how life would be without all the creative thought processes or books. We would all miss books!

I guess I didn't dwell too much on that while I was reading the book, I must have been caught up in enjoying Enzo
That is a good point though, it must be frustrating not being able to properly communicate what your thoughts and feelings are.

After reading this book from a dog's point of view I feel privileged to be a human. Humans can do mostly everything they want without much hindrance.
