The Adventures of Border Bob
Border Bob is a small, friendly border terrier who lives in a kennel at the side of the Big House. He loves people and enjoys snaffling food from the kitchen. His favourite pastime is to lie with his chin on his paws and watch the world go by but his Main Job is to protect the chicken coop from Mr. Fox. If Bob is not guarding the coop or having adventures in the countryside and making new friends, he likes to greet the visitors to the Big House, but his favourite time is when The Girl comes home from school, because they go on picnics and countryside walks together. This makes Border Bob very happy because he loves The Girl the most. So join Bob, Stan the Stableboy, The Big Man, The Girl, Mrs Hands the Cook, and Tinks the Traveller as we follow Bob's adventures. Meet Edward the King of Dogs, naughty Mr. Fox and Tom the old gardener in a delightful, timeless tale of a little brown dog called Bob, in a story aimed at children but just as enjoyable for dog lovers of all ages.

About the author
James Ross
184 books119 followersI'm a cancer survivor who had something to say. One story has become several novels from fictitious Prairie Winds Golf Course high atop the Mississippi river bluffs just east of St. Louis.
My stories are character-based with the genre being realistic fiction. My writing style utilizes the use of dialogue from an eclectic cast of characters. Aside from the recurring regulars roughly 20 new personalities are introduced per story.
There will be a Midwestern flavor, solid themes, social issues, and a few lessons in life learned from the golf course which reflect my roots.

A Hero Border Terrier
This is a book for young children (which I am not) but I bought it because it’s about a Border Terrier, my favorite breed of dog. The action takes place in the north of England, probably in the 1930s, and features a number of interesting characters and dialogue from that time and place. Nothing scary in it - just a good “country life” story about a little dog and his young owner. From his description of Bob (the hero) the author obviously knows and loves his Borders and has written quite a nice little tale about them.
