This book contains a series of stories related to the dog Lad. He is a smart dog that respects his "master" (as opposed to an owner.) The dogs help protect the land from criminals. The dog also enters a few contests. In one case, a wealthy city man rigged a contest so that he would win. However, it backfired and Lad won. Lad also had an experience in New York City wearing a muzzle - he did not like that.
The stories portray Lad in a very positive light. It feels like Lassie and many future dog stories, though Lad predates almost all of them.
Lad was based on a read dog that lived more than a century ago.
