Terhune, Albert Payson: Lad: A Dog, v.1, 8 February 2009.
 

Albert Payson Terhune (1872–1942)
Lad: A Dog (1919)

The life of a collie dog, whose character traits – bravery, chivalry, intelligence – contrast with many of the humans he encounters.
The author has based many of the stories on his own dog’s life.

I have added a cover picture of the author and the original ‘Lad’, also an illustration of the dog’s grave. The source was a scanned PDF at The Internet Archive.

People interested in dogs and literature may also care to know about Doglit-H, a listserv dedicated to the topic. See: http://www.math.ttu.edu/~wlewis/DogLit.html

Thank you Patricia!!

I hope that you enjoy it, phenomshel.
I've uploaded a few more by the same author, and am editing another title for tomorrow, hopefully.

Thank you, Patricia. I loved these books as a child. Is "Grey Dawn" by the same author available?

Oh I loved Grey Dawn!! *off to look*

I'm afraid that I haven't been able to find "Grey Dawn".
It's out of copyright in Canada, but Mrs Terhune seems to have renewed the U.S. copyright in 1957.

Ah. Yeah, I couldn't find it either. But thank you SO MUCH for these others, they're wonderful!!

My pleasure, Shel.

Thank you very much :) It was only today I realized this might be public domain and someone here might have also loved it, so thought I'd check and there you were :D

I hope that you enjoy it, wayspooled.

I really enjoyed reading this book again. Thanks so much for sharing it!

My pleasure, sakura-panda. We have a few more by the same author.
