His Dog

Originally published in 1922, this book tells the story of a young farmer and a friendship he develops with a collie he finds lying by the roadside with a broken leg. The young farmer has been living a life of drunkenness and his farm has been falling into a state of disrepair. However, the new found friendship gives him hope and he begins to clean up his act. Albert Payson Terhune was a master of the 'dog story' and produced many popular novels featuring collies. He was also a respected collie breeder himself. We are republishing this work with a brand new introductory biography of the author.
