Finn the Wolfhound: The Classic Story of One Dog and his Master (Hardcover)

A. J. Dawson's epic story of Finn, a faithful Irish Wolfhound who accompanies his owners through myriad joys and hardships. The story famously demonstrates the dedication, love and fortitude of this unique dog breed. Beginning with a narration of the life of Finn's mother, Tara, we hear about the Master and Mistress who own the wolfhounds. We are introduced to pastoral scenes, where roams in the country fields and woodlands are frequent. Rural England's rich landscape and lifestyle are an ideal environment for Finn to thrive, and the sensitivity and care of his owners ensure he can fulfill his duties as a companion. Uniquely for a fiction of its era, Finn the Wolfhound demonstrates an authentic and believable scenario. The knowledge of the author is amply shown by his descriptions of the Wolfhound's courage and hunting prowess, and the caution of Finn's owners - who take care not to drive the dog too hard or take unnecessary risks - offer the reader lessons in proper canine care.
