| Summary | "Bob, Son of Battle" by Alfred Ollivant is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the picturesque Dales of Northern England and revolves around the lives of a sheepdog named Bob and his complex interactions with the people around him, including the farmer James Moore and the troublesome little man Adam M'Adam. The narrative focuses on themes of loyalty, bravery, and the bond between humans and their canine companions against a backdrop of rural life. The opening of the book introduces the setting and key characters through a lively scene in a farmhouse yard. Tammas Thornton and Sam’l Todd, two men working outside, reminisce about their beloved sheepdogs and their hopes for a new champion among them, young Bob. Entering the scene is Bob himself, a dazzling gray sheepdog puppy, accompanied by James Moore, the farm's master. The chapter also introduces David, a boy struggling with his relationship with his father, M'Adam, who is depicted as neglectful and cruel. As Bob begins to display his potential and loyalty, a sense of impending conflict builds with M'Adam's harsh demeanor, setting the tone for the unfolding tale of life, love, and rivalry in the Dales.
