Looks like I need to buy some redbone coonhounds!

When my husband was a kid, this was a favorite of his. I can see why since it’s a plot about a teenaged boy hunting raccoons with his two favorite dogs.

I’m glad I finally got to this classic.

Even if you’re not big into dogs, reading about hillbillies in the Ozarks, or could care less about raccoon hunting, you’ll still get something from this tale.

It’s a love story for anyone that has loved a dog before.
