This heart-warming book tells the story of the runt of a litter of collie who is relinquished in a forest and, through indomitable courage and intelligence, manages to stay alive and learn the ways of the wild. This lovely book was written by the master of dog-based literature Albert Payson Terhune and constitutes a must-read for dog-lovers and fans of Terhune’s work, expertly composed with the passion those familiar with his writing have come to expect. Albert Payson Terhune (1872 –1942) was an American author, journalist and avid dog breeder, most renowned for his writing of dog-based literature. Originally published in 1923, this scarce antiquarian book is republished here with a prefatory biography of its author.
