Billy has long dreamt of owning not one^ but two^ dogs. So when heâe(tm)s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own âe" Old Dan and Little Ann âe" heâe(tm)s ecstatic. It doesnâe(tm)t matter that times are tough; together theyâe(tm)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 Danâe(tm)s brawn^ Little Annâe(tm)s brains^ and Billyâe(tm)s sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters âe" now friends âe" 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.
A young boy living in the Ozarks achieves his heart's desire when he becomes the owner of two redbone hounds and teaches them to be champion hunters.
