While his father is gone on a cattle drive, fourteen-year-old Travis finds a big yellow stray dog.

1995 printing, "Harper Trophy" imprint. "Trophy Newbery" on cover; it is a Newbery Honor Book.

Trade-size paperback. The used book store cleverly put their price tag sticker right over a rip in the picture on the front cover. Other than that, it is in good shape.

I left this book as swag in the geocache called Mn-treker Finds 5000.

This book is part of two book release challenges at BookCrossing.com: Movie Books; and Never Judge a Book by Its Cover, week 27 (red , white, and blue).
