SOLVED. Book from a dog's perspective. he is old and lying in a puddle of urine on the floor [s]

[Jenny]

I am looking for a book, but the only information that I know is that I saw it at a Sainsbury's in the UK in 2010.

The first page is from a dog's perspective, he is old and lying in a puddle of urine on the floor.

I'm sorry that is all the information that I have.

thank you.

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

"Gestures are all that I have; sometimes they must be grand in nature. And while I occasionally step over the line and into the world of the melodramatic, it is what I must do in order to communicate clearly and effectively. In order to make my point understood without question. I have no words I can rely on because, much to my dismay, my tongue was designed long and flat and loose, and therefore, is a horribly ineffective tool for pushing food around my mouth while chewing, and an even less effective tool for making clever and complicated polysyllabic sounds that can be linked together to form sentences. And that’s why I’m here now waiting for Denny to come home—he should be here soon—lying on the cool tiles of the kitchen floor in a puddle of my own urine."

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I only ever got to that first page in the store and I cried and didn't buy it, but have wanted to get it since then and that is all I could remember.
