Mongrel Mettle: Autobiography of a
Dog was Jesse Stuart’s third novel
and the first of his animal books. The
dust jacket reads, “This is the unique
autobiography of Jerry-B, a lovable
Kentucky mongrel. But Mongrel Mettle is
more than a dog story—it's full of
sparkling social satire, native lore and
mountain magic. Jerry-B’s adventures are
wild, wooly and lots of fun.” The book
is based on Jesse’s two dogs, Jerry B.
and Rusty. Jerry B. was a mongrel and
Rusty, a red Irish Setter.
