I have all the Betsy books in a recent reprint! And read the Lad and Bambi books too.
I remember best the Lad stories where he was unjustly suspected of injuring a toddler which he'd actually just rescued from a venomous snake, and the one where he's in a dog show contest where he has to follow instructions and navigate around a course and wins a huge trophy. The narration of Lad's confusion as the Mistress directs him around the course was very stressful and suspenseful! In retrospect I find I can't remember what country these books were set in. Were they in the U.S.? Clearly not Australia since the dogs didn't DIE.
