Summary: Lad, a Thoroughbred in Body and Soul...
Comment: I loved this book very much, and even still read my favorite chapters if I have nothing to do. The book is not one whole long story, but a series of adventures as experienced by Lad, a collie from Sunnybank. As others have said, it can make you cry, laugh, and even flare up anger. Lad is truly a special dog, as you will see when you read it. He becomes lost, is accused to killing sheep, acts as a guardian and playmate to Baby, and is a thoroughbred in body and soul, as his grave marker says.
I highly encourage you to buy and read this book, I'm sure you will never forget it!

Summary: Lad: A Dog can instill a lifelong love of reading
Comment: In his memoirs, Albert Terhune said that he'd been surprised by the number of children who had read and loved Lad: A Dog, as he did not write the book for children or try to tailor it to a child's understanding. Just the same, happy is the child who discovers this book, as I did, close to fifty years ago. It will put in his or her bones a lifelong love of good books--at least it did for me.

Summary: O.K., so he wasn't Hemmingway, but...
Comment: I first read this book many, many years ago and back then I had no idea Terhune considered himself a hack. All I knew was that the stories made me cry, made me laugh, made me love Collies all the more.(as if I didn't love them too much already. I grew up with a house full of them!) Well, I'm old now, a writer myself, something of a critic, and, yes, the man was no Hemmingway. Know what? He didn't need to be. The stories have an innate charm and personal style that make me wish I could have met him (Papa Earnest, on the other hand, does not strike me as a fun guy).
Regardless of age, if you love Collies, and you also love an old fashioned ripping good yarn, get this book.
