I get the impression ol' Rog takes care of his porn personally.

He don't need to watch it on the TV.

Red the book when I was in the 7th grade, and it made me cry. A couple of years later, got some beagle hounds and named them Ann and Dan. Watched the movie when it came out, and will have to say that it'll bring tears to a dog lovers eyes. But, book is better.

I teach middle school. At some point in my room my students get Where the Red Fern Grows and Summer of the Monkeys read to them. Still tear up when the dogs die

Never saw the movie but I had the book and read it a dozen times. I got it for a birthday or something right after it came out in '61.

Which one? The old one or the newer one with Dave Matthews? I have a tattoo on my right forearm because of that movie.

That's right.

Movie is pretty good, but many of those 1970s movies and teevee shows show their age because for some reason they did not insist the actors get period-correct haircuts. Olde Tymey or Sci-fi, same awful 1970s haircuts.

I’ve got a copy around here still. Probably my third. Still haven’t seen the movie.
And yes, if you don’t get misty eyed reading it, you’ve got some problems.
Great book if you hunt or if you love dogs. I’m both.

I read the book until the pages came unbound. I didn’t know a book, words simply printed on paper, could conjure up such powerful mental images or elicit such a strong emotional response.

I'm a dog lover, and one reading, was more than enough for me, reading it again would kind of be like zipping your dick in your zipper, because it didn't hurt bad enough the first time......

I'm NOT a dog lover but I remember that one "got" me all the same. I hadn't thought of it in years ...
