From the Back Cover

Lass, the pure-bred border collie, is rescued from her unhappy life in the city by W. Phillip Keller who owns a sheep ranch. There Lass learns about trust, obedience, and faithfulness under the patient guidance of her new master. Through Phillip's unfailing love, Lass is transformed from an undisciplined pet into a magnificent sheepdog.

This heartwarming, true story illustrates for both children and adults the unconditional love that God has for each of us. Suggested questions for family discussions are included at the end of the book in order to help children discover more about God's love and how He can help them become all that He has planned for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lessons From a Sheepdog, July 4, 2004

By 

Shannon Bridget Murphy (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lass: Tag-Based on the best-seller Lessons from a Sheepdog by W. Phillip Keller (Hardcover)

"Now that you are starting a new life, I am going to give you a new name. How does Lass sound to you?" asked Phillip Keller, the new owner that Lass was introduced to through a personal ad. Although there was a need on both the sheepdog and new owners behalf, Lass escaped from Phillip as soon as the leash was removed. The pages of this book are enhanced by eloquent illustrations. The adventures and mishaps that Lass and Phillip have with one another and other animals are entertaining and suspensful. This is a book for every dog lover.

This review is from: Lass: Tag-Based on the best-seller Lessons from a Sheepdog by W. Phillip Keller (Hardcover)

The story of a wonderful relationship, mutually beneficial, between a sheep rancher and a border collie. Teaches patience and faithfulness. A religious parable. Danger in the form of a cougar.
