- Breve biografia
- 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).

The Critter and Other Dogs di Albert Payson Terhune

This is a well written book.
But it’s not an easy book or a comforting book.
This book is under review. It contains some strong descriptions of violence as well as dialogue that was typical of its time (1919).

A fairly good story with some unexpected turns and a few plot developments that I saw coming. Worth a read, especially if you like the author's books.
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.

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.
