Lad

I read this book when I was in elementary school, and when I found it on Audible, I just had to get it. I am so glad I did. It is a wonderful book and I have really enjoyed listening to it. It brought back wonderful memories.
If you have ever loved a dog, you will love this book.

enjoyable dog stories

great short stories all about a dog named lad. listened together as a family with tween and teens, all who also enjoyed this book very much. all stories appropriate for these ages. I would not recommend for younger listeners- the language would be a bit old for them and several of the story 'themes' are not appropriate for little ones, but fine for tween and up! only complaint is that collies are so worshipped as the best dog ever, etc- that gets a little annoying from time to time (Great Pyrenees are truly best! mutts are a close second!)

Noelle.

Very Nice

Loved it so much. Lad is so sweet. He reminds me of my dog.

A Study in Contempt

I couldn't finish it, so I suppose it's possible the author developed a bit of humility and regard for fellow humanity by the end, but the brazen snobbery of the author just made it unreadable/unlistenable for me. It's one thing to think - even know - that your dog is the greatest, but there were very few human beings in the book - or animals for that matter - who had the author's respect. Horrid.
