Lad: A Dog
by: Terhune, Albert Payson
A classic story for dog lovers and young readers follows the heart-warming
adventures of a courageous collie. First published in 1919, Albert Payson
Terhune's Lad: A Dog is actually a collection of immensely popular magazine
stories. The hero is an extraordinary collie named Lad, "a thoroughbred
in spirit as well as in blood." In each tale, Lad exhibits his pure
strength of character as he fights off burglars, rescues an invalid child
from a poisonous snake, wins ribbons in dog shows, and otherwise leads
a dog-hero's life. This is a period piece--a threatened puppy is described,
for example, as "a blinking pygmy who gallantly essayed to growl
defiance"--and that touch of fustian is all part of Terhune's enduring
charm. Because the stories didn't originally appear together, there's
considerable repetition: nearly every story with a fight scene has the
same authorial mini-lecture on the difference in fighting technique between
collies and bulldogs. But Lad is a character who has poked his muzzle
into a million hearts, and new generations of dog lovers will also appreciate
his loyalty and courage. Ages 12 & up. 238 pgs.
