- Kort biografi
- Although he had other careers, Albert Payson Terhune is best remembered today for his novels and magazine stories on his beloved collies and other dogs, and as a dog breeder. Many of today's Rough Collies are descended from the collies he bred and raised at his Sunnybank Kennels in New Jersey. Several of his family members, including his mother, were also prolific writers. Irving Litvag wrote his biography, The Master of Sunnybank (1977, Harper & Row).

This is the book that made me trans. Also, as a child, I read so many dog books that real live dogs have been a disappointment to me ever since.
Wolf. Sired by purebred Collies, his mother and father were show dogs of great repute. Wolf. HIs nature and intelligence was pure but his appearance was not. He didn't have the physical appearance of a Collie but was kept on due to his nature.
This book is basically seven short stories, each telling a tale in this remarkable little dog's life. He was uncanny. His adventures were joyous and good. Each story ends with a smile. Even the last. The last is is last adventure. I smiled with tears in my eyes.… (mer)

What a wild bunch of adventures of a very bad dog! Nice twist at the end. Good old fashioned dog story about a mutt for a change. Terhune is known for his gallant collie stories. This one was quite different. Fun though!

I wish more of the dog's story was included, he's only in a few of the scenes. The original title is The Luck of the Laird, which actually makes more sense considering the lack of collie involvement.
