Bruno; or, lessons of fidelity, patience, and self-denial taught by a dog by Abbott
"Bruno; or, Lessons of Fidelity, Patience, and Self-Denial Taught by a Dog" by Jacob Abbott is a children’s narrative written in the mid-19th century. This charming tale follows the adventures of Bruno, a loyal dog, as he demonstrates virtues such as fidelity, patience, and self-denial in various situations involving his owner, a hunter living in the Alps. The book aims to impart moral lessons to young readers through the dog's experiences and
interactions. The opening of the book sets the stage with a hunter who hears a wolf howling at night, stirring a sense of urgency and danger. Determined to protect his family, the hunter prepares for a confrontation with the beast, taking Bruno along. As they venture into the wilderness, Bruno exhibits bravery and loyalty, ultimately engaging in a fierce battle with the wolf, showcasing his courage and the bond between the dog and his master. The stage is thus established for a series of adventures that highlight the dog's noble qualities and the lessons he imparts throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
