    This book is about a boy named Danny Pickett and a dog named Red. Though not based on a true story and is completely fictional, including the area it took place (wintapi wilderness), it feels as if it was real. I highly suggest this book to dog lovers, for it is based mainly on dogs. The first time Danny met Red was when he told Mr. Haggin about a bull of his that was recently killed by Old Majesty, who was a legend around Wintapi.…

    “Ughhh” Randy said as he hit the button sluggishly on his alarm clock. He sat up on his nice warm bed and thought to himself about how just a year ago, he was sleeping on the bleak, bitter ground. He thought about Austin one of his best friends. He remembered all the parties they went to, all the sly things they did, all the criminal things they did just to have fun. Randy remembered the party they threw at the old dilapidated warehouse for Randy’s last birthday. Randy was turning thirteen that day and he was on the streets. Randy ran away from home because of his abusive father who was an alcoholic. The thought that always popped into his mind was how he cut his dad with a broken beer bottle during…
