This early work by Albert Payson Terhune was originally published in 1917. 'A Highland Collie' is one of Terhune's well-loved canine stories. Terhune was a famous American author, dog breeder, and journalist, best known for his adventure novels about collies.

A compendium of over 5,000 dog names and their meanings--an exhaustive canine version of the many, exceedingly popular "baby name" books and second to none among dog books today in its scope and content.

"The master of Sunnybank, a biography of Albert Payson Terhune, Irving Litvag. Author of several highly popular stories about Lad & his other collies. While this biog. only notes as a mystery that both his wives were almost virginal, & the possible invention of a fictional son, speculation about William Friend, young son of the estate superintendant, p. 243-48, Mike Manning & a professor I met in NYC in 89 both insisted Terhune wa actively homosexual & fairly open about it".--Anonymous typed note found in the Archive's copy of the book.
