Birth of the doggone Hero: Charlie the doggone Hero

by J A Strike

Young Reader, have you ever wished that your dog could talk and be your best friend? In 1832 Callie, a young slave girl, had such a wish for the dog on the schooner, the Wild Cat. And this is their story. In 1832 Edgar Boone sold six slaves to a New Orleans slave trader. Edgar then arranged for the slaves' transportation with his friend, Captain Tom Hunter on his schooner, the Wild Cat. While enroute to New Orleans, a terrific storm comes upon them off the coast of Florida. During the storm Callie finds a dog on board the Wild Cat. She immediately loves the dog and wishes that he can talk and become her best friend. Will Callie's wish come true? Will they make it to New Orleans? And if they get to New Orleans, what will happen when Callie and the other five slaves are taken to the slave market?
