<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This award-winning Archway paperback is being reissued in Minstrel this month to reach Bill Wallace's wider audience of middle grade readers. A starving stray is looking for food in Ricky's backyard, but Ricky is terrified because he was once bitten by a rabid dog. But when he realizes that the pup could starve, Ricky overcomes his fear and makes a special new friend.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The puppy was small and fuzzy, with a friendly, wagging tail -- and Ricky was afraid of him! <br>No wonder, since he was attacked by a dog when he was just a baby. So when a stray puppy comes sniffling around the farm, Ricky tells it to get lost. <br>But the puppy keeps trying to play with Ricky. And every time Ricky's Mom feeds the cats, the little dog comes running. The cats aren't sharing their food, however, and the poor pup is slowly starving. <br>If Ricky doesn't overcome his fear, the little puppy may die -- but if he lets himself get close enough to feed it, he may find the best friend he's ever had! <br>Winner of the Texas Bluebonnet, the Oklahoma Sequoyah and the Nebraska Golden Sower Awards.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bill Wallace</b> grew up in Oklahoma. Along with riding their horses, he and his friends enjoyed campouts and fishing trips. Toasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories to scare one another, and catching fish was always fun.<br>One of the most memorable trips took place on the far side of Lake Lawtonka, at the base of Mt. Scott. He and his best friend, Gary, spent the day shooting shad with bow and arrows, cutting bank poles, and getting ready to go when their dads got home from work.<br>Although there was no monster in Lake Lawtonka, one night there <i>was</i> a sneak attack by a rather large catfish tail. Checking the bank poles was not nearly as fun or free after that point, but it was the inspiration for this story.<br>Bill Wallace has won nineteen children's state awards and been awarded the Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award for Children's Literature from the Oklahoma Center for the Book.
