In honor of National Dog Day this week, I'm featuring a New Jersey author and dog breeder who wrote about his incredibly brave and intelligent male canine companion. In his most famous book he tells about his 80-pound dog killing poisonous snakes, catching robbers, and saving children. His series about his pet was so popular that he was making $100,000 a year in the 1920's. This is Albert Payson Terhune, 1872-1942, and his most famous book is the first in the series, Lad, A Dog.
