Great story

(4 Sterne)

This book was set in World War I, and has none of the dark cynicism of postwar novels by other authors who stayed on school reading lists for years. Draped in the background is a clear-eyed patriotism without any Pollyanna element. It's first and foremost a dog story, believable yet uplifting. The reader mispronounced a few words, but is intelligible.

amazing

(5 Sterne)

This will not be forgotten for a long time! If you haven’t already, read the rest of Terhune’s books.

COLLIES RULE

(5 Sterne)

A typical Terhune mastterpiece. The reader was great. Librivox needs to record more of Terhune.

I love dogs and this book is the best way to know about them
