    About this audiobook

    Lad, a handsome collie, rules the Place for his master and mistress. With his sleek mate, Lady, at his side, he chases away neighborhood dogs and intruders. But one day, when the master brings home a spirited young male, Lady starts to spend all her time running with the newcomer. Will Lad be able to win back her loyalty? For Lad, the excitement is just beginning. Throughout the pages of this classic story, he faces one thrilling adventure after the other. A poisonous snake, the police, and hostile city streets are only a few of his challenges. Albert Payson Terhune first recounted his own dog's exploits in a series of short stories for magazines. When readers of all ages praised Lad, Terhune collected the tales into the heartwarming volume that has captivated young readers for over 70 years. With John McDonough's skillful narration, Lad, his furry friends and foes, and the humans in his life spring vividly from the pages.

      I remember liking this book a lot, but I have always liked dog and animal books, though I have not read too many.
    • 5/5
      Based upon the true history of a champion Collie, this is one of my all-time favorite books, "Lad: A Dog". During the turn of the century (early 1900s), the author and his wife lived in northern New Jersey, in a place called "Sunnybank". Here Lad, and other Collies owned by the Terhunes, lived their lives, bringing joy not only to their Master and Mistress, but to the general reading public of the time. Lad was the first and the best of their canine companions.As I have mentioned before, the "Sunnybank" books aren't solely aimed at children or youth, but to anyone who likes a good story, and especially if they like dogs.Like Lad, this is the best of the bunch, although all the Albert Payson Terhune books I have read so far should be judged as good/very good or better.Get yourself a glass of lemonade and find a comfortable place to relax with Lad, his master and mistress, and the other denizens of Sunnybank from 100 years ago.
    • 5/5
      This book was a great childhood friend of mine. I know the book is not realistic, but I love the comfortable writing. Even now, it warms me to read it, though I grant it’s partially/mostly from nostalgia. Still, this is highly recommended for dog-loving kids.
