BACK-COVER BLURB In the hard country of the frontier, a man survives by his hands, his word… and his dog. Jed Callahan has carved out a quiet life in the hills, far from towns and farther still from trouble. All he asks is the land, honest work, and the steady companionship of Trailer—his blue tick hound, one of the finest hunting dogs ever to trail a scent. Together, they hunt to eat, work to endure, and live by the old rules that keep a man standing. But the hills remember everything. When danger comes creeping back into Jed's valley, it doesn't announce itself with gunfire. It arrives on the wind, carried by unfamiliar scents and men who don't respect what they don't understand. As the threat grows, Jed must rely on the one partner who has never failed him—a hound with the heart to hold a line and the courage to finish the trail. A Coon Dog Named Trailer is a classic Western novella about loyalty earned, hardship endured, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog. Written in the spirit of frontier realism, it's a story of grit, loss, and quiet hope—where a good hound proves that some legends don't ride horses… they run the woods. Clean. Powerful. Unforgettable.
