| Summary | "Buff: A Collie, and Other Dog-Stories" by Albert Payson Terhune is a collection of dog stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives primarily focus on the lives and adventures of collies and their deep bonds with humans, with a strong emphasis on canine loyalty and heroism. The opening portion introduces Buff, a cross-breed collie with a complex lineage, as he navigates his early life on a farm, showcasing distinctive traits inherited from both his collie and pit bull ancestry. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Nina, a mongrel dog at Shawemere Farm, who unexpectedly gives birth to a litter of puppies including Buff. Buff, the standout of the litter, possesses exceptional qualities that lead to his eventual separation from Nina. Following his childhood experiences on the farm, the narrative reveals Buff's resilience and innate abilities as he interacts with humans and other animals. The story sets the foundation for exploring his adventures, emphasizing themes of loyalty and the soulful connection between dogs and their owners, as it paints vivid portraits of life alongside these beloved companions.
