Autor

Albert Payson Terhune (1872-1942) was an American author, dog breeder, and journalist, best known for his novels detailing the adventures and heartwarming stories of collies and other loyal canine companions. His breed of choice was reflected in his Sunnybank Kennels, a name which also became synonymous with his literary setting for many of his pet narratives. Terhune's passion for dogs was matched only by his skill as a storyteller, wherein his rich narratives often reflected the valor and intelligence of his four-legged subjects, bridging the gap between animal fiction and the celebration of pet virtues. In 'A Dog Named Chips: The Life and Adventures of a Mongrel Scamp,' Terhune departs from his usual collie protagonists to weave the spirited tale of Chips, a lovable mixed-breed with an indomitable spirit. The novel stands out in Terhune's bibliography for showcasing not only the pedigree of purebred dogs but also the charm and heroism inherent in a scrappy underdog. Terhune's literary style often combined realistic depictions of canine behavior with idealized portrayals of dog loyalty and bravery, offering readers an enjoyable and immersive dive into the lives and inner world of animals. His works continue to resonate with dog enthusiasts and remain emblematic of early 20th-century animal literature.
