The Red Setter

An exciting tale of a young boy's development, as he becomes inseparable from his newfound friend, his Dog Red.

Jamie hadn't really wanted another dog after the death of his beloved 'Duke', but his dad and Old Jock, by subterfuge, persuade Jamie to take a greyhound pup born to Jock's red setter, Sheila. Jamie names the pup Red, and after weeks of chasing rabbits in the hills near to home, Jamie realises he has much more than just a pet greyhound. Soon, it becomes clear that winning the ultimate prize in greyhound racing, The Greyhound Derby may not be just a dream.

Three less than honest rogues, interested only in making money, also have their eyes set on the ultimate prize and the money jackpot that accompanies it. They are unaware of a link to Jamie's dog, Red.

Clever planning ensures that the Jamie's and the brothers' dogs run their early races in different parts of the country and never meet in competition.

The race is on. Each of the dogs is very successful, but it is inevitable that they are to meet for the Honour of Winning the Greyhound Derby
