A major difference that the novel and the movie had was that Billy didn’t win the coon hunt in the movie. In the movie, a man named Sam Bellington won the coon hunt, but out of pity, gave the cup to Billy. This event was one of the vital events in the book. It was the culmination of all of Billy’s hard work and his dogs’ dedication. Another distinction was that Billy only saved for one year to earn money for his pups in the movie. This plot element was one of the many important times when Billy demonstrated his tenacity. It showed how devoted Billy was to earn his pups and how willing he was to work two years to earn enough. The fact that Billy only worked for one year to earn the money greatly diminishes his industrious mindset, Evidently, there are many differences between the novel and the movie adapted from

Along this difficult march, the narrator reflects on the life of the dog and remembers the not-so-bad characteristics of the family pet, “During our joint ordeal I had developed a grudging affection for our pet; he who’d been so quick to defend my kith and kin against the noise of passing trucks, who took loud notice of the squirrels outside, who held fast in the foyer, hackles raised, fearlessly barking, whenever company arrived at the front door (248).”

One example of hard work pays off is in chapter 7 because the coon could get away easily and Billy had to put in the hard work to catch
