A. J. Dawson's epic story of Finn, a faithful Irish Wolfhound who
accompanies his owners through myriad joys and hardships. The story
famously demonstrates the dedication, love and fortitude of this
unique dog breed. Beginning with a narration of the life of Finn's
mother, Tara, we hear about the Master and Mistress who own the
wolfhounds. We are introduced to pastoral scenes, where roams in
the country fields and woodlands are frequent. Rural England's rich
landscape and lifestyle are an ideal environment for Finn to
thrive, and the sensitivity and care of his owners ensure he can
fulfill his duties as a companion. Uniquely for a fiction of its
era, Finn the Wolfhound demonstrates an authentic and believable
scenario. The knowledge of the author is amply shown by his
descriptions of the Wolfhound's courage and hunting prowess, and
the caution of Finn's owners - who take care not to drive the dog
too hard or take unnecessary risks - offer the reader lessons in
proper canine care.
