| Summary | "White Dandy; or, Master and I: A Horse's Story" by Velma Caldwell Melville is a novel written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a companion piece to "Black Beauty," exploring the deep bond between a horse named Dandy and his master, Dr. Richard Wallace. It delves into themes of compassion, the treatment of animals, and the importance of kindness from humans towards their four-legged friends. The opening of the story introduces us to the protagonist, Dandy, who is the favorite horse of Dr. Wallace. We learn that both Dandy and the doctor are not as young as they used to be, and a tragedy from the past has significantly affected their lives. Dandy reflects on their relationship, recalling how Dr. Wallace comforts him during moments of sorrow. The narrative sets a melancholic tone as we see Dandy’s longing for connection and understanding while highlighting the doctor's caring nature towards his animals. The introduction not only establishes the bond between the horse and his master but also hints at the challenges they face from the world around them as they navigate issues of care and compassion for domestic animals.
