First published in 1915, this delightful story tells the story of Excalibur or scallywag to his friends and family, found as a puppy climbing out of a golf course pond with a brick around his neck, Scally grows into a giant, loveable dog and we follow his adventures with the wonderful young family who found him. This story is all the more amazing considering the author John Hay Beith under the pen name Ian Hay, was serving in the British Army on the Western Front at the time it was first published. This text has been republished here for its historical and cultural significance. Including a specially commissioned introduction on dogs in fiction.
