A great rough dog named Rab became one of literature's most beloved animals. John Brown's gentle sketches gather his stories of dogs, from faithful Rab to Toby, Wylie, Wasp, and Jock, each drawn with warmth and truth. Tender, humane writing about the companions who share our lives. For every reader who has loved a dog and known the bond. Meet Rab and his friends.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
