Where the Red Fern Grows

By Wilson Rawls

My yearly re-read of this lovely book, which follows Billy Colman as he lusts after a pair of hunting dogs, saves up money to get them, teaches them how to hunt, and has his adventures with them before the sad conclusion which claims both lives of the dogs.

I, of course, cried my eyes out. Now that I have personally known the love of, and for, a pair of beautiful dogs it hit home in a different way. I'll always love this story.

5 stars, naturally.
