A favorite from my childhood, I recently was reminded of this book's title. I then borrowed it using Interlibrary Loan.

"Old Nick and Bob" is a book about two dogs wandering through the American Old West. Old Nick, raised and loved by a boy until tragedy struck, is a gentle but wary giant of a dog. He finds and befriends Bob, a three month old puppy separated from his mother. Old Nick protects his new friend, trying to keep him safe from the dangers of the wilderness, but especially from man. But Bob has other thoughts, and a will of his own.

This story was a little more juvenile oriented than other books by the author. However, it held up well to my memories and expectations, and would probably also be enjoyed by any dog-loving adult. ( )
