Lad: A Dog by Albert Payson Terhune

3.0

Wonderful stories, although some of the ideas presented in them would not sit well with modern audiences. For example, saying nothing as a self-invited guest (no matter how pompous) beats your dog, destroys heirloom furniture, and insults your way of life is not something even an unfailingly polite person is likely to put up with today. However, the obvious love of dogs, and particularly collies, shines through even the rather odd parts of the stories. The stories are based on a real dog, and he must have been a very well-loved member of the family, indeed.
