  • Bruce is the story of a collie who starts out life as an ugly, ungainly type and grows up not only beautiful, but also incredibly smart. Bruce protects the mistress from evil-doers and becomes a decorated war hero before returning to his home for a leisurely retirement amid the lovely trees and lakes. Told in alternating viewpoints of Bruce and his master, this lovable story is one of Terhune’s best.
