Wilson Rawls

A beloved classic that captures the powerful bond between man and man’s best friend. Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two, dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own—Old Dan and Little Ann—he’s ecstatic. It doesn’t matter that times are tough; together they’ll roam the hills of the Ozarks. Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan’s brawn, Little Ann’s brains, and Billy’s sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters—now friends—and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair, and that the seeds of the future can come from the scars of the past.

Billy, Oklahama’da, Cheroke Vadisi’nde ailesiyle birlikte yaşayan sevimli, rakun avına düşkün ve bu özelliğiyle çevresinde ün salmış sevimli, 12 yaşında bir çocuk. Azimli, diyaretli ve her türlü koşullarında yaşayabilen Billy’nin tutkusu iki av köpeği ve rakun avı. Old Dan, bir kaplan gibi güçlü kaslara sahip, ısrarcı ve avının peşini hiç bırakmayacak cinsten bir rakun avcı köpeği. Billy’e son derece bağlı ve onun yaşamının bir parçası. Little Ann ise ufak yapılı, son derece zeki, koku almada ve kurulan tuzakları hissetmede hassas, rakun avında Billy’nin sağ kolu. Birbirlerini çok seven bu üçlü, Cheroke’nin karanlık tepelerinde ve nehir vadilerinde avlanır. Yaşlı ve kurnaz rakunlarla köşe kapmaca oynarlar. Old Dan’ın gücü, Little Ann’ın aklı ve Billy’nin de onları vadinin en iyi av köpeği yapmak için inanılmaz bir azmi vardır. Bu üçlü şöhret ve zafere doğru koşuyorlardı ama farkında olamadıkları bir şey onları bekliyordu. Hüzün...
