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.

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 ......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

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. Regards, deadlift_dude “The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence.” ----Fred Rogers

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.
