The protagonists are Billy Colman (though his name isn't mentioned very often since he's the narrator) and his dogs Little Ann and Old Dan.
Billy was ten when he started wanting two hunting hounds really badly. By the time he was eleven he decided to work hard and sell many different things in his grandpa's store until he got 50 dollars which is enough money to buy two hunting hounds. This took him two years and at that time he started hunting with his dogs Little Ann and Old Dan. I forgot to say that he is telling the story when he is over sixty years old. He has three younger sisters.
Old Dan had a tough attitude. He wasn't tall but he was heavy. His body was long and his muscles were big. He didn't want to hunt with any other hunter or with any other dog except Little Ann. He also didn't want to hunt without Little Ann.
Little Ann was even smaller than Old Dan. She would make friends with anybody and loved playing. She was smart and understanding.
Since this book is about a boy and his dogs going hunting there's really no antagonist. Maybe the coons but I'm not sure if that counts. So far I like reading about their adventures. People tell me it's a sad book but I'm only on page 118 so I haven't gotten to the sad part yet.
