Bruce.

New York:: Grosset & Dunlap, 1920.. Reprint Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: blue cloth with vignette of two running collies; owner's name stamp on the front endpaper, a Good book, with a Good dust jacket.. small 8vo (7.75 inches tall) . Illustrated endpapers. Description: The Grosset and Dunlap reprints of Terhune's dog stories were issued in two different formats. The earlier issue was done in cloth with the head of a collie blind stamped on the front cover. The endpapers for that series featured two dogs on the left hand page with a stream or road separating them from a single 'windswept' collie on the right hand side. This listing is for a copy from the later series issue which featured dust jackets by noted wildlife artist Bob Kuhn. The binding was either solid color cloth or 'tweed' with a vignette of two collies running. The endpaper scene shows those same two collies on the left hand, and the right hand side shows a single collie leaping into a pond. This scene (reproduced in black and white) is from one of Kuhn's paintings done for this series. This is one of Albert Payson Terhune's best stories about his famous dogs. Bruce was a splendid collie; this is the story of how he came to 'The Place', and how he developed from an ugly duckling into the joy and pride of his master and mistress, and how he went overseas and did his noble best in saving life and honor for his friends. Note that the only printed date is the 1920 copyright; this circa 1970s. This is the second book in the Sunnybank series.
