“True Dog Stories” is a collection of short stories dealing with ordinary dogs and their extraordinary exploits, written for children by the prolific author of dog-based stories, Albert Terhune. This delightful collection of dog tales is the perfect choice for parents to read to their dog-loving children at bedtime, full of heart-warming and entertaining stories sure to be remembered fondly for many years to come. Included in this collection is: “Bud: The Collie with a Sixth Sense”, “The `Pi-Hound' of Nine News Bulletins”, “Treve: The Strangest Dog”, “ The Spitz Heroine of a Queer Melodrama”, and many more. Albert Payson Terhune (1872 – 1942) was an American novelist most famous for his novel “Lad: A Dog”, which follows the adventures and travails of a dog called Lad. Following the success of this novel, Terhune went on to produce over thirty other novels based around the lives of dogs. Other notable works by this author include: “Dr. Dale: A Story Without A Moral” (1900), “The New Mayor” (1907), and “Caleb Conover, Railroader” (1907). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
