The Heart of a Dog

Set against the backdrop of early 20th century America, the narrative showcases the bond between humans and dogs, particularly focusing on a beloved collie. Albert Terhune, a prominent dog breeder, draws from his experiences at Sunnybank Kennels to craft engaging tales of adventure and loyalty. His most famous work, published in 1922, appeals to both children and adults, highlighting the enduring connection between pets and their owners. Today, his estate is preserved as a park, allowing visitors to connect with his legacy and the dogs that inspired his stories.
