Albert Payson Terhune (1872 –1942) was an American author, dog breeder, and journalist. He was popular for his novels relating the adventures of his beloved collies and as a breeder of collies at his Sunnybank Kennels, the lines of which still exist in today's Rough Collies. A Dog Named Chips first appeared in 1931 and remains a classic dog story, read and loved by millions.

When the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, Chips, a husky shepherd collie mix, enlists in Dogs for Defense and is shipped overseas into some of the fiercest fighting in World War II, in a fictional account based on true events.

Dogs love to dig but one dog named Doug takes digging to new heights (and depths) in this laugh-out-loud picture book from New York Times bestselling author Karma Wilson and celebrated illustrator Matt Myers. Meet Doug. Doug is a dog that loves to dig. But when Doug digs he doesn’t just dig holes in the backyard. He digs…ditches the size of tractors! He digs…tunnels through gold mines! He even digs his way into…the White House! But not even the Secret Service can stop this digging doggy, because when Doug digs, oh boy, does Doug DIG!

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.

Terhune penned many books about the dogs he kept and trained on the Sunnybank estate throughout the 1920s and 30s. This is a collection of lovely stories about collies and their humans, mostly about canine loyalty, heroism, intelligence, and love. This early work by Albert Payson Terhune was originally published in 1926, we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
