Chronicle During Books The Bar Sinister

In his preface, Davis sheds light on the origins of The Bar Sinister. In the dog world, the original of the bull-terrier in the story is known as Edgewood Cold Steel and to his intimates as 'Kid'. His father was Lord Minto, a thoroughbred bull-terrier, well known in Canada, but the story of Kid's life is that his mother was a black-and-tan named Vic. She was a lady of doubtful pedigree. Among her offspring by Lord Minto, so I have been often informed by many Canadian dog-fanciers, breeders, and exhibitors, was the only white puppy, Kid, in a litter of black-and-tans.

Column Based On Books The Bar Sinister

Horatio Alger-style rags-to-riches story of a dog, told from the dog's point of view. Sentimental but demonstrating a lively imagination and well done. A great success in its day and no doubt an influence toward better treatment of animals.

This story was a happy ending short story about a dog that starts out as a fighting dog owned by a drunk guy who beats him and treats him poorly. He ends up winning prizes and being owned by people that love him. It's written by the dog. Really a sweet story.

I didn't care for the dog perspective.

Nice turn of the previous century dog story. I like a good animal story. Great for reading to kids etc. This particular book was amongst some of my great-great-grandfather's books and while moving it, I got to reading it. On par with Lad a Dog and numerous others. Nice lesson in it too.

A good dog yarnHomey, sentimental and an easy read for adults or to grandchildren. A great ending to make all right with the world.

A story about a street dog named "Kid". It is a simple but powerful story and beautifully told from the dog's point of view. I loved this.
