Bruce

Albert Payson Terhune introduces Bruce through a world in which a dog's character matters more than fashionable appearance or pedigree. The opening follows Rothsay Lass, a collie whose intelligence and affection cannot overcome the arbitrary standards by which people judge her. From these beginnings, Bruce develops into a sequence of adventures that includes his role as a war dog. Terhune's dedication to his own collies establishes the book's affectionate interest in canine loyalty, courage, and companionship. Written for readers who enjoy animal stories, it gives dogs individual temperaments and places their trust in people at the heart of its narrative.
