Lad: A Dog is a 1919 American novel written by Albert Payson Terhune and published by E. P. Dutton. Composed of twelve short stories first published in magazines, the novel is based on the life of Terhune's real-life rough collie, Lad. Born in 1902, the real-life Lad was an unregistered collie of unknown lineage originally owned by Terhune's father. Lad's death in 1918 was mourned by many of the story's fans, particularly children.

The story was well read. It was interesting and obviously written by not just a dog lover, but a collie lover. It is worthy of hearing and can even be listened to by younger children without fear.

THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST BOOK!!!!!!!! I've listened to a LOT of books on LibriVox but this is the best so far. I was very anxious for Lad's life when he was reading about the dog fight. I think that I might have cried a little if Lad had died. Of all the dogs in the story Lad was, of course, the best

AND SOME PEOPLE STILL PREFER CATS?

No one does dog stories like APT. I read this one years ago, and the re-reading was just as good. The reader did a fine job.

Wonderful book! Both educationally as well as beautifully written. Lad is everyone’s dream pet! I read this several years ago and came back to enjoy it all over again. It is written in the engaging way that never grows old! This book will remind you of Lassie Come Home, but with a male dog as the hero. There is also way more action & narrow escapes. I can’t wait for my little brother to get old enough to read this! There is also an amazing narrator. He does a wonderful job!
