Gray Dawn

Gray Dawn, a blue collie born in Sunnybank, never does things as the others do, or as the others before him. He is extremely large and awkward, and manages to get into one fiasco after another, much to his Master's chagrin. Early on, the Master is convinced that Gray Dawn is a hopeless case, and is about to sell him to another breeder, despite his wife's protestations. But Gray Dawn is spared at the last moment by performing a courageous deed that wins his Master's heart. He becomes one of the most favored collies in the Terhune household.
