על המחבר
Albert Payson Terhune (1872–1942) was an American author, dog breeder, and journalist, best known for his novels about his beloved collies and his expertise in the breeding and training of dogs. Terhune was born in Newark, New Jersey, and though he pursued his higher education at Columbia University, his heart remained ever entwined with the natural and the canine worlds. He penned an estimated thirty books during his lifetime, among which 'Lad: A Dog' stands perhaps the most prominent, having enamored readers over multiple generations with the heartfelt stories of his Sunnybank Collies. 'The Critter and Other Dogs' is another testament to his literary repertoire, where he showcases his unique ability to narrate from a dog's perspective, thus giving these animals an almost human-like range of emotions and nobility. Terhune's literary style typically involves anthropomorphism, presenting his canine characters as gallant and intelligent beings with moral codes, often intertwining adventure with reflections on dog psychology and behavior. While Terhune's books are primarily considered entertaining reads, they also offer insights into early 20th-century dog breeding culture and practices. His work's charming prose and idealistic portrayal of the loyalty and valor of dogs have made his books beloved by both children and adults. Despite criticisms regarding the portrayal of other characters and dated perspectives, Terhune's literary contributions continue to be celebrated for their singular focus on the heroic qualities of dogs, immortalizing them in American literature and beyond.
