From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
Sunnybank is home and kingdom
The stories are set at Sunnybank, a country place beside a lake, where Lad lives with two people he calls the Master and the Mistress. Terhune treats the house and grounds as a small kingdom with its own rules. Lad knows every corner of it and takes it as his duty to keep it safe.
Around him are the other dogs of the household. His mate Lady is gentle and wise, and their son Wolf grows up in Lad's shadow. These animals have distinct natures, and Terhune gives each one a clear place in the family.

What is Further Adventures of Lad about?
It is a collection of stories about Lad, a collie living at Sunnybank with his owners. Each tale tests his courage, loyalty and good sense as he protects his family and home.
Do I need to read Lad: A Dog first?
It helps, because this book continues Lad's story and the life at Sunnybank. Still, the tales are separate, and a new reader can follow them without much trouble.
Is Further Adventures of Lad a true story?
The stories are fiction, but Terhune based them on the collies he kept at his real home, Sunnybank in New Jersey. The setting and the dogs come from his own life.
