Description:'A dramatic end renders stories about the faithful dog especially moving. In A Book of Famous Dogs (1937) Albert Payson Terhune weaves elements from many of the different versions... Barry is retired at ten years of age, but five years later he rushes out to save a soldier who has lost his way; the soldier stabs the dog to death because he thinks Barry is a wild beast.' (139)
