Books with title Hero: A War Dog's Tale

The book is told from the standpoint of a loyal household pet, a dog self described by the first sentence of the story; "My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian." The story begins with a description of the dog's life as a puppy and her separation from her mother, which to her was inexplicable. Her puppy and her owner's new child were soon added to her new home. When a fire breaks out in the nursery, the dog risks her life to drag the baby to safety. In the process, her motives are misunderstood and she is cruelly beaten. Soon however, the truth of the situation is discovered and she receives no end of praise. Later in the story, her puppy dies as a result of the owner's biological experiments. Only a servant seems to realize the irony, exclaiming, "Poor little doggie, you saved HIS child!" In the end, the dog pines inconsolable over the grave of the puppy with the clear implication that she will do so until death.

was right or not? for she was the only cultivated dog there was. By and by, when I was older, she brought home the word Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard all the week at different gatherings, making much unhappiness and despondency; and it was at this time that I noticed that during that week she was asked for the meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed out a fresh definition every time, which showed me that she had more presence of mind than culture, though I said nothing, of course. She had one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver, a kind of emergency word to strap on when she was likely to get washed overboard in a sudden way--that was the word Synonymous. When she happened to fetch out a long word which had had its day weeks before and its prepared meanings gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger there of course it knocked him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he would come to, and by that time she would be away down wind on another t

Tim's badly cut leg was licked by a dog as he lay on the ground with his bike beside him. It was supposed to be a fair race, but as usual Blaize had cheated. For the next few days Tim was very sick, then strange things started to happen.

The dog whose life we witness is taken from her precocious mother when just a little pup. But our heroine, the pooch named Aileen Mauvoureen, was taught by her mother, who often attended Sunday school with the masters, to live for the good of others. That was a dog’s place in life. Aileen was given a good home with everything she could want. The home was grand, the people were kind to her, and she never wanted for food. The family loved our heroine, and always took good care of her. Aileen considered looking after the baby of the master’s family to be her main responsibility. And she watched over the little one all the time. Aileen’s life was made complete when she had a puppy of her own, and wasn’t forced to give it up as she was. However, life was not to be always perfect. Fire struck the house. Aileen got the baby out of the house in time, only to be punished for messing with the baby. The truth was discovered, and the dog was rewarded properly for what she truly did. The master of the house turns out to be a scientist, and while his family is away on an extended vacation, he and his friends decide to do an experiment on Aileen’s puppy. Sadly, this ends in tragedy. Twain does a great job of making us, his readers, empathize with the dog writing this story. We can feel the respect she has for her mother, the love she has for her owners, and her adoration of her puppy. This book will take you out of your problems and transport you back in time.
