Kalliope's Review |
"This is one book I cannot read without a full box of tissues nearby. Don't even think of starting it without at least a handkerchief. Thankfully the tears result in a smile at the happy endings of each chapter and I guarantee that you will fall in love with this brave-hearted canine. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who listens to this story Googles "collies" and seriously considers adding a new pet to the family." ~ Kalliope |

Read First Paragraph |
"Lady was as much a part of Lad's everyday happiness as sunshine itself. She seemed to him quite as perfect, and as gloriously indispensable.He could no more have imagined a Lady-less life than a sunless life. It had never occurred to him to suspect that Lady could be any less devoted than he -- until Knave came to The Place. Lad was an eighty-pound collie, thoroughbred in spirit as well as blood. He had the benign dignity that was a heritage from endless generations of high-strain ancestors. He had, too, the gay courage of a d'Artagnan, and an uncanny wisdom. Also -- who could doubt it, after a look into his mournful brown eyes -- he had a Soul." |
