Terhune's "Lad" books are splendid!

This book, along with LAD: A DOG and LAD OF SUNNYBANK, are terrific collections of stories about Terhune's best-loved collie. I discovered Terhune's books when I was 9 years old (GREY DAWN was my first), and recently (in my 60s) I've started re-reading all of them, and even getting my hands on out-of-print books of his that I'd never read (I love the way he manages to slip a collie into every adventure novel he writes!) I live in New York City, a short drive from Sunnybank (the grounds of the old Terhune Estate - now a park), and I visit every year. The house is gone, but the graves of the great dogs are still there, and the the lawn still sweeps down to the "fire-blue lake."

Greatest book since Lad: a dog. Beware to the people reading this for the first time because I might

This book might be better even than Lad: a dog! I enjoyed it when Albert Payson Terhune told about Lad's puppyhood in the beginning of the story. This book had better adventures (maybe) than Lad: a dog and this book revealed a lot more. It was very very very sad at the end (you can probably guess why) but it was a very good ending (sort of). At least it's continued with the same character in another Lad book! I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.
