The novel is divided into several short stories, each depicting various episodes in Lad's life. Set in the fictional Sunnybank Kennels in the New Jersey countryside, the stories revolve around Lad's loyalty, intelligence, and courage as he navigates different challenges and encounters.From defending his home and family against intruders to rescuing lost children and other animals, Lad exemplifies the qualities of a true hero and beloved companion. His unwavering devotion to his owners, particularly the "Master" (based on Terhune himself), and his interactions with other dogs and humans form the heart of the narrative.
