I understand that the author, Hal, is a hunter and likes to watch his dog catch and kill rabbits and woodchucks. We can disagree on that. But I would think most dog lovers would not understand some of the treatment of Pat, the dog.I literally winced when I read some of his "proud" stories. A few examples:Hal and his wife, Barbara, heard Pat and Mike, "the dog Pat came with," (which the author gave away) howling in pain while being a distance from the house . They didn't investigate, but decided to wait, "They'll come home." They did, but it was hours later. Pat had been in a fight most likely with a bobcat and had a ripped ear, bleeding from multiple cuts, and limping. Hal called a vet and they decided to bring him in only if it showed infection. How about to prevent infection? How about something to help him with his pain?Pat, being a dog, once stole a hamburger for which he was hit. When he began snooping around again the owner, in his own words, "gave him a trouncing." This type of "teaching" (hitting/trouncing) was repeated several times over a small infraction (such as attempting to get on a piece of furniture). Nothing wrong with not wanting your dog on furniture, but there are ways to train other than "giving him a good trouncing."Pat was locked in a woodshed at night -- even in below freezing weather. OK, I realize this story is older and dogs were treated differently, but I can't understand why he couldn't at least stayed in the mudroom of the house in the harsh Connecticut winters.Hal suggested that Barbara take treats with her to train Pat to walk beside her and not run off into the woods. Good idea. She chose chocolates. While tolerated in small amounts, chocolates are poisonous to dogs. Obviously, Hal and Barbara did not know this. I'm sure they would not have offered it if they had known. ("Trounce" him for an infraction? Yes. Ignore his howls when being attacked? Yes. Lock him in the woodshed on below freezing nights? Yes. But I'm sure they would not knowingly give him a poisonous substance.) Yet, surely they knew chocolate is loaded with sugar and caffeine. Doesn't that seem an odd choice for a dog? Especially an odd choice to give a highly stimulated dog to train him to walk passively beside you and not bolt after a squirrel? Counterproductive at best, setting him up for failure (and perhaps another "trouncing") at worst.Hal seemed proud of his stories. He and a friend laughed when their dogs went at each other. As they separated them, (as they were eager to go kill some raccoons), they agreed that soon they should just let the dogs "have it out."Were there some magical, heartwarming moments? Of course. But too many cringing episodes (I only listed a few) to make this an enjoyable story. If you are a dog lover, and don't like reading about ill treatment of animals, stay away from this book. Sad because the setting is so lovely and I do think Pat had many great adventures. I know my dogs would love to roam free in fields. But they surely would not love being attacked by bobcats, raccoons, woodchucks, and their owner! Freedom with limits would have been easy enough as Pat stayed near Hal on their walks in fields and woods. Only when he was let out alone or told, "Go get 'em," did he go in for the kill....often ending in his own injuries.
This is well written book with a very good detail of a person that love his dog but didn't restrain his freedom. I think that I relive the joy of my experiences with my dogs, a Labrador and a Siberian Husky. Both were rescued, one from the shelter and the other from the street. After 4 months with me, the owner of the husky appeared and I returned the dog. Two weeks later the dog escaped and returned to my house. He decided who will be his owner.The author described with details the relationship of them, concerns, disappointments and health issues. The final chapter was a surprise that I am still enjoying.
As a lover of ALL animals, parts of this book are hard to read. I understand that Pat was a hunting dog and that is a world I will never be a part of - but as another reviewer said, I cannot understand allowing your dog to run wild terrorizing rabbits and other animals for the "fun" of it. Having a working dog is one thing, that is something else. That being said, I could very much relate to the relationship between Hal and Pat the dog and them learning to trust and love each other because I experienced it myself with my own rescue beagle. Those parts of the story are wonderful and worth reading.
This book was written in 1961. Attitudes about dogs were quite different back then in the farming community that Hal Borland lived in. Dogs then were disciplined with rolled newspaper. Having said Pat chose the Borland's and this book is a good story about an older time and place and the relationship between man and dog.
It's a well-written book and I'm glad I found out it was actually written in the 1960's. I should have figured it out myself, considering that the author and his wife lived on so much open space. Probably not that much open space in this day and age in all of New England.I read this with 21st century sensibilities about treatment of animals. I'm not a PETA member, but believe that if you have a pet you should keep track of where it goes, where it sleeps and show some concern about it when the weather is inclement. I was bothered by the fact that the author punished the dog for being a dog ("I wore out a weekday edition of The New York Times trying to slap some sense into him, and still he howled and struggled at the chain.") He allows the dog to swim across the river and nearly drown, even though the author and his wife are on a boat. He allows the dog to run the roads and mountainside where the dog is severely injured by a bobcat, and where he is attacked by a pack of stray dogs. He keeps locking his dog outside in an unheated shed even when the temperature reaches -18 degrees.In spite of this, the dog "Pat" chose to remain with the author and his wife, and they eventually came to an understanding. Pat was the boss and in charge of his own comings and goings.
