My Friend the Dog

Terhune penned many books about the dogs he kept and trained on the Sunnybank estate throughout the 1920s and 30s. This is a collection of lovely stories about collies and their humans, mostly about canine loyalty, heroism, intelligence, and love. This early work by Albert Payson Terhune was originally published in 1926, we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
