Rusty

About the Book

Rusty, whose birth name was Red, was a runaway champion Irish Setter who won many honors, including first place ribbons and silver trophies for his kind old master, Mr. Goodwell. That is, until one day his master sold him to a wealthy, avid, devoted pheasant and duck hunter by the name of Ben Carlson for an enormous amount of money. Ben had a spoiled son whose name was La Rue. La Rue became overly jealous of the attention his dad was giving Red, his newly acquired bird dog which he had coveted. Soon after Red’s arrival, La Rue began mistreating him. Later, fear-strickened, Red had to run for his life to keep from getting shot by the ill-tempered son, La Rue. Chronicled are the awe-inspiring travails that confront Red, who was found by his newly acquired master, young, little Jimmy Roberts, who changed his name to Rusty.
