Book Description:
From Phyllis Reynolds Naylor comes this unabridged recording of her Newbery Award-winning tale of adventure, courage and love--the timeless and moving story of a dog in trouble and the young boy who would save him.

Eleven-year-old Marty Preston loves to spend time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia.  Sometimes he takes his .22 rifle to shoot cans from the rail fence.  Other times he goes up early in the morning just to sit and watch the fox and deer.

But one summer Sunday, Marty comes across something different on the road just past the old Shiloh schoolhouse--a young beagle--and that's where the trouble begins.

What do you do when a dog you suspect is being mistreated runs away and comes to you?  When the man who owns the dog has a gun?  This is Marty's problem, and it is one he will have to face alone.  Soon Marty will have to put his courage on the line, discovering in the process that it is not always easy to separate right from wrong.  Sometimes, however, a boy will do almost anything to save a dog.
