Sa Classic - Jock of the Bushveld

By Percy Fitzpatrick

Set against the rugged landscapes of the South African bushveld during the gold rush of the 1880s, Jock of the Bushveld is the unforgettable true story of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick and his loyal dog, Jock.

Rescued as the runt of a litter, Jock grows into a brave and devoted companion, accompanying Fitzpatrick through the dangers and adventures of life as an ox-wagon transport rider in the old Transvaal. From encounters with wild animals to the daily challenges of a harsh and unpredictable land, their journey is one of courage, resilience and unwavering loyalty.

First published in 1907, this much-loved South African classic has captured the hearts of generations. At its core, it is a timeless story of friendship and the extraordinary bond between human and animal - as powerful today as it was over a century ago.
