Like most of the dog-stories this book of "Lad" tales is about a real dog.

The name of Mr. Terhune's dear old "Sunnybank Lad" is known to every collie-lover in the country. These stories will explain why.

Lad's blue blood, his beauty, his intelligence and honor, courage and devotion, not only made him celebrated in life, but will continue to gain him lovers and friends now that he has gone the way of all good dogs to the happy hunting-grounds.

Never was there a more wonderful example of a dog-comrade than Lad. If you are a dog-lover, you will find a dog-lover's joy in these chronicles of a perfect companionship. If you never owned or loved a dog, all the more read and understand what the fellowship and love of a dog can mean.
