This rare text comprises a wonderful tale written by great story-teller Albert Payson Terhune, an accomplished author most remembered for his heart-warming stories detailing the adventures and misadventures of dogs. An endearing narrative wonderfully written with the passion and eloquence readers of Terhune will be familiar with, this book will appeal to collectors of his work and constitutes a must-read for those who have never read Terhune's stories before. Albert Payson Terhune was an American author, journalist, and avid dog breeder. The first of his dog-based novels was Lad: A Dog (1919), a book so popular that it was reprinted over 80 times and provided the basis for a film in 1962. This scarce text has been chosen for republication in the hopes that it will continue to be enjoyed by modern readers as it has been in the past. We are proud to republish this delightful book with a new introductory biography of the author.
