An affectionate, heart-warming account of a great dog's first years. Duncan says, "after a lifetime of documenting wars, historic treasures . . . and many of man's adventures in our time, perhaps this... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Simply the best book ever published, in my opinion. I wish I could have known Thor. It would have been an honor to share a piece of my life with such a noble being. I see so much of the dignity, the desire for solitude, the love for a family, and the good sense of Thor in my own beloved dogs, Pup and Skit. If you want to know the goodness that resides in the soul of dogs, then find a copy of this gentle book.
Wonderful tribute to a much loved dog

A few people reviewing this book have it confused with a novel titled Thor. This is by far my favorite book of all time, in fact, so much so, that I have 2 copies. The pictures are amazing and the love oozing from the words of the author are so touching. I could write a book just like this about my past and present "babies". God speed sweet Thor....snow dancing forever.
fantastic photography...a german shepherd lover's delight.

So Very Sad when They Sent him too the Pound!

Thor was one of my favorite books! When the secret of the family's uncle came out was very scary! When a wild animal keeps coming and kills the young cat that thor actually loves he is sent to the pound and the owner crys as he is taken away. It certainly made me cry after a dignified dog was thrown into the pound!
Can not be read without a lump in your throat.
