RAB AND HIS FRIENDS....is a wonderful book though short...only 60 pages in paperback. If you love dogs....don't overlook this book! A GREAT READ!
"Rab and his Friends" is a short story by Scottish writer Dr John Brown. It was very popular in the 19th century and often considered John Brown's best, or at least most well known work. Even though short in length it was often published as a single volume.
The title character "Rab" - the Lowland Scots form of "Rob" - is "a huge mastiff" dog. He is described as being "old, grey, brindled, as big as a Highland bull", as well as being extremely loyal and loving
The narrator recalls a boyhood encounter with Rab, a majestic dog. Rab causes the lad to make friends with his master, James Noble, a simple horse-cart driver. Six years later, James brings his beautiful old wife, Ailie, to the hospital where the narrator is now a medical student. She has breast cancer and the surgeon tells her that it must be operated the following day. James and the dog are allowed to remain nearby.
TLC BOOKS does not believe that it is possible to read this heart-rending story with dry eyes. Dr. John Brown is mainly remembered for this slim book, and it is easy to see why it has survived.
The author wrote this book that is highly informative about an earlier and more primitive time, and is also touching at the very core of humanity.
This is a wonderful book, one that is often recommended to dog-lovers, and one that TLC BOOKS recommends to everyone!
