| Emmy Budd -
The Real Dog is
Harry |
|
| A human hand is
unearthed on the property of Hank Turner, a
local farmer, in Jerseyville, Ohio where Emmy
Budd and her adventurous friend, T.J. Blake,
live. |
|
| Hank Turner, a
good friend of Emmy and T.J.'s, is under
suspicion for murder and mutilation of a hired
man whom he threatened and fired several weeks
earlier. |
|
| A developer and
newcomer to town has purchased the Turner farm
and plans to turn it into a roadside tavern.
Emmy and T.J. keep their ear to the ground and
their nose to the grindstone as they pretend to
be helping out but actually picking up
information about the proposed tavern. In her
usual perceptive way, Emmy figures out how
certain animal bones suddenly appeared in the
excavation of the Turner farm after a torrential
rain. Because of under handed activities, Emmy
is nearly exposed for tampering with the United
States Postal Service, a fact that if made
public would cause great embarrassment to her
and her family. |
|
| A scruffy stray
dog, whom T.J. names Harry, tags along with the
kids on their many trips to the gravesite. The
dog appears at strange times and in strange
places and is finally discovered to be the
abused pet of the hated developer of the
proposed tavern. |
|
| In the end,
Harry returns to the boy who wants to be his
real owner, T.J.
Blake. |
