Donald McCaig. Nop's Trials is a "poignant, authentic, and beautiful" novel of courage and love of the remarkable bond between a man and a border collie. It is a modern classic review. 'Nop's Trials' held me in fascinated suspense to the last page. This story of a man's dedication to his dog is as gripping as any thriller-James Herriot. 336 pgs, Softcover
