I first read Lad: A dog, when I was eleven. The story touched me and over the years I often thought of Lad and his WWI era world. It was not until tonight (Oct 27 04)at the age of forty-four that I reread the story of Lad and once again found myself happy and sad as I turned the pages.
A wonderful book.
Awesome!

Tense, touching, wonderfully told. Lad is a dog I want!! Read it, you'll love it! Me and my mom cried at some points it was so good! Please buy this good book! It not trash or a waste of money! Its a keeper!! Its worth more than it costs its so good!! Please, please buy it. You wont be disappointed. Too bad you cant rate it higher. If you could rate from 0-100, I'd rate it 100\100!! Again please buy it!!

This was the first book I read by Albert Payson Terhune - after which I was on a quest for all the others I could find. I was ten, then. I am now forty-six and recently picked up Lad: A Dog once more and it wasn't like picking up other things from the past - I was drawn into it, completely. I wish I hadn't stayed away so long! It is good to come back to The Place. It doesn't feel like reading a "kid's book". This is for everyone, all ages, there's sweetness, there's action, too. And so many things to think about. There was only one Lad, but I think all our dogs have qualities we may be overlooking. Mr. Terhune had wonderful insights about dogs and only wanted us to appreciate them more. These are shining, exceptional books, and Lad : A Dog is definitely the one to start with if you haven't read these works yet.
