The author of this book has lived with Airedale Terriers for almost thirty years. Her stories recount true events that cover all relevant topics: puppyhood, training, hunting instincts, the Airedale's unique sense of humor, the variety of its abilities, its independence, the almost proverbial terrier stubbornness, grooming, and finally, the charm of the old dog as well as the farewell to a loyal companion. King is the fictional main character in the stories. Representing many of his breed, he captivates the reader and continually surprises them, as befits a king. Wonderful photos and compositions illustrate the book, making it a unique portrait of the breed.
