The book, Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls was made in 1961, then turned into a motion film movie in 1974. There were many similarities and differences between the movie and the book. Some things in the book didn't happen in the movie, and the movie moved a lot faster. The movie was more sad than the book though because it showed more detail when the dogs died. In my personal opinion, the book was way better.
First, the book had more detail. There were more hunting scenes in the book with more detail and some things were different. For example, during the hunt for the Ghost Coon, Rubin got tripped by a log not by Billy’s leg. After he died, he had a private funeral not a public one. During the tournament hunt it actually had a big snow
