Book Overview

One of the most beloved children's classics of all time, this unforgettable coming-of-age adventure is a story of love, loyalty, and the bond between a boy and his two dogs.

Billy has dreamed for years of owning not one, but two dogs. So when he finally saves enough money to bring home two Redbone Coonhounds--Old Dan and Little Ann--he can hardly believe his luck. Even during hard times, the three become inseparable as they roam the hills of the Ozarks together.

Before long, Billy and his beloved hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Word of their adventures spreads far and wide, and the combination of Old Dan's strength, Little Ann's intelligence, and Billy's determination seems unstoppable. But when heartbreak enters their lives, Billy discovers the enduring power of love and resilience, and learns that even loss can leave behind something beautiful.
