Book Description

1958
True life story of Prince Tom, a blonde cocker spaniel dog--the first American Cocker Spaniel to win the national field trials, as well as all obedience trials. This Trade PaperBack edition is noteworthy in that the print is in a light brown color, instead of the normal black. Probably in deference to the color of Prince Tom's coloration.

5.0 out of 5 stars the power of a good book, August 31, 2009
By

This review is from: Champion Dog (Paperback)
Because we lived so far from a town or neighbors, summers were isolated for me as a child. The farm kept us busy and there was little entertainment. My parents, however, believed in books and gave me this book the summer I was seven years old. For the first time, I realized that a book could take you places you'd never go, enable you to experience things you'd never actually experience, and cause you to feel real emotion for people and things that do not exist.

This book started me on a career of reading. I've read thousands since I read this one, but none has impacted me more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best dog story!, January 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Champion Dog (Paperback)
I received my original copy of Champion Dog Prince Tom more than 50 years ago as a member of the Weekly Reader Book Club, and was delighted to find it for our grandchildren to enjoy.

Prince Tom was a golden Cocker Spaniel, the runt of the litter, with no expectation of being anything more than a nice house pet, by everyone, that is, except his owner. This is the story of his devotion to learning and obedience which won him many titles, but the most surprising was "National Field Trial Champion for 1956." And, best of all, this story is true.

This review is from: Champion Dog (Paperback)
This is one of those stories that stays with you long after you've forgotten many of things you've read more recently. A great story to share with a child or to read again to recall your own days as a young reader.
