Lad: A Dog

Lad is an eighty‑pound collie whose sleek mahogany coat and keen brown eyes mark him as a true thoroughbred. He shares his days at a spacious country home with Lady, a tiny golden‑gray pup he rescued as a newborn, and together they roam woods, chase squirrels, and lounge by the fire. Their world blends adventure and comfort, guided by the Master and the Mistress. The bond between the two dogs is as steady as sunrise, each day a celebration of loyalty and simple pleasure.

When a new dog named Knave arrives at The Place, the harmonious rhythm of Lad and Lady’s life is quietly unsettled. Knave’s bold temperament and unfamiliar ways test Lad’s patience and force the pair to confront the limits of their devotion. As the household watches, the dogs must decide whether rivalry will drive them apart or deepen the trust they have built. Listeners are invited into this tender struggle, feeling the tug of friendship, duty, and the quiet wisdom that only a faithful canine can offer.
