About this listen
Albert Payson Terhune's story of Bruce, the collie, who starts out life as an ugly, ungainly type and grows up not only beautiful, but incredibly smart. Bruce protects The Mistress from evildoers and becomes a decorated war hero (WWI) before returning to The Home Place for a leisurely retirement amid the lovely trees and lakes.
Bruce's story is told from the dog's perspective as well as the Master’s. We join in the adventures as well as share in a few sorrows. One of Terhune’s best that will bring a smile as well as a tear.

Treve, a beautiful and madly alive collie, must fight for his life after his owner mistreats and rejects him. Through a series of unfortunate events, he finds himself on the Dos Hermanos sheep ranch, and the two owners of that ranch become his new masters. Treve immediately loves and is loved by Royce Mack, the younger of the two ranchers, but Joel Fenno, an embittered, cranky old rancher, takes an instant dislike to Treve. He has “no time for measly pets and the like” and shows his contempt for the faithful sheepdog as often as he can.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 60
Rolf, son of Hiarandi the Unlucky, is a character who exemplifies the effect of Christ's teachings upon the Icelandic people during their heroic age. The book is set in Iceland in the days when Christianity has come to the island though the old customs still linger. Hiarandi, at the urging of his wife, does an unprecedented thing: he lights a signal fire on a dangerous point of his land, thereby challenging the accepted custom which places lucrative salvage at higher value than the saving of life.

Story5 out of 5 stars 18
The Chinese city of Shunkien is under siege, the Japanese military laying it to waste. In the middle of the city sits the American consulate, a fragile sanctuary packed with refugees, threatened not only by artillery, but by the ravages of starvation and cholera. 200 miles away, on the USS Miami, stands their only hope - Marine Gunnery Sergeant James Mitchell. As tough as Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan - and just as stubborn - if anybody can negotiate a crucial supply of gold and medicine through 200 miles of bullets, bombs and butchery, it’s Sergeant Mitchell.

Following its initial appearance in serial form, Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage was published as a complete work in 1895 and quickly became the benchmark for modern antiwar literature. In the character of Henry Flemming, Stephen Crane provides a great and realistic study of the mind of an inexperienced soldier trapped in the fury and turmoil of war. Flemming dashes into battle, at first tormented by fear, then bolstered with courage in time for the final confrontation.

An action-packed adventure, much of the plot is set in French North Africa, where the Geste brothers have to contend with both a mutiny in their ranks and the attacks of the Touaregs.

"Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him." This line was written by Ambrose Bierce in his short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. Death by execution has historically been ritualized, perhaps to absolve those accomplishing the execution from guilt or blame.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 71
When The Centurions was first published in 1960, readers were riveted by the thrilling account of soldiers fighting for survival in hostile environments. They were equally transfixed by the chilling moral question the novel posed: how to fight when the "age of heroics is over". As relevant today as it was half a century ago, The Centurions is a gripping military adventure, an extended symposium on waging war in a new global order, and an essential investigation of the ethics of counterinsurgency.

Paul Bäumer is just 19 years old when he and his classmates enlist. They are Germany’s Iron Youth who enter the war with high ideals and leave it disillusioned or dead. As Paul struggles with the realities of the man he has become, and the world to which he must return, he is led like a ghost of his former self into the war’s final hours. All Quiet is one of the greatest war novels of all time, an eloquent expression of the futility, hopelessness and irreparable losses of war.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 71
When The Centurions was first published in 1960, readers were riveted by the thrilling account of soldiers fighting for survival in hostile environments. They were equally transfixed by the chilling moral question the novel posed: how to fight when the "age of heroics is over". As relevant today as it was half a century ago, The Centurions is a gripping military adventure, an extended symposium on waging war in a new global order, and an essential investigation of the ethics of counterinsurgency.

Spring 1944, the south coast of England. The Fifth Battalion, Wessex Regiment, wait patiently and nervously for the order to embark. There is boredom and fear, comedy and pathos as the men all drawn from different walks of life await the order to move.

Following its initial appearance in serial form, Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage was published as a complete work in 1895 and quickly became the benchmark for modern antiwar literature. In the character of Henry Flemming, Stephen Crane provides a great and realistic study of the mind of an inexperienced soldier trapped in the fury and turmoil of war. Flemming dashes into battle, at first tormented by fear, then bolstered with courage in time for the final confrontation.

great stories
I enjoyed this book even more than Lad! a collection of short stories about Bruce, a Collie. Great for most ages- not good for younger listeners due to many war stories and a few mentions of a historical type of dog torture being done during the time period. my family listened together- 12 yr old son, teenage daughters and parents. we all enjoyed this very much, we wished there were more stories in the collection.

Absolutely loved it. I can't pick between Lad or Bruce. They're both so dear to my heart as I am a helpless lover of dogs.

Bruce, A Grand Terhune Collie
Being a dog lover, and having read every Collie book by Albert Payson Terhune throughout my childhood, and again years ago as an adult, I was delighted to find Bruce on Audible ! The book can stand alone as a beautiful classic dog story and a tribute to the the courage and character of Collies the author and his wife raised and loved and appreciated for decades. He wrote about their natures, their relationships with people, and their adventures through decades, like the true story of Bruce’s time as a heroic military carrier dog in World War I, saving hundreds of soldiers by his courage, intelligence and loyalty.
The only area I had trouble with at the beginning was that the narrator was not a man because the main human, the Master, as he was called, was the dominant figure, and most of the characters and soldiers were male. The voice portrayals of the many and varied characters were awkward, but well into the book became better and more consistent.
