About the Book
Cap: The Dog That Couldn’t Sing is a true story. Cap went on to live a long and happy life, full of stories of his time on the farm. He and his border collie brethren continued to surprise and delight the farmer and the missus for many years after he learned to sing, and many evenings were started off with a chorus or two from the dogs and neighboring coyotes. This book was written to share some of the stories of rural life with the many who have not had the privilege of knowing farm life or these remarkable dogs.
