I loved this book as a child, and loved reading it to my own children. The author takes us into a unknown Florida ecosystem, and puts us right inside the skin of a boy. I think we all cried, and all loved the book.

Even my caustic brother cried at the end.

ISBN 0440412676 - Forced to read this book in 8th grade, a looong time ago, I did what most young teens would do - I read it, wrote the book report and forgot about it. Since then, I have returned over and over to read it again. Wouldn't my English teacher be thrilled? If you have, or ever had, a dog OR a heart, this book is bound to touch you. And while it IS a great kids' book, don't let that stop you from reading it as an adult. It's far too good to let the kids to keep it to themselves!

A great story of friendship!

Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann—a boy and his two dogs.

A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains, and Billy had the will to make them into the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too.
