Joining Tom is Michael, a teenage novice who, with Tom's niece, Amy, shares Tom's dream in a sport where the competition can be conspiratorial and snarling. And then there is Rooster, a mongrel breed with wings on his heart.But, in their way is Red Eyes, a devil of a dog, a gunslinger dog in a cowboy kind of game. And there are the men who made him that way, Buck Arness and Tall Charlie Hinkle, recognizable by their wiry frames and ashen skin, by the dirt beneath their fingernails.
