Summary:
Danny Pickett is too poor to own one of Mr. Haggin's champion Irish setters, but that doesn't stop him from losing his heart to a beautiful dog he calls Big Red. The two are drawn to each other from the start and soon become inseparable. But their loyalty and courage are tested as they face grave danger in the wilderness, including Old Majesty, a massive bear, and a fierce snowstorm.
