Excellent book about a young boy and his hunting dogs. I've been reading so-called children's books, and this was written as a novel/memoir, but became a best seller when marketed as a children's book. A boy saves money made from various jobs for TWO YEARS to afford two hunting dogs. He then trains them to hunt raccoons for their skins. Sad ending, but well worth the read.
