Meet Ginger Pye, the smartest dog you'll ever know. Jerry Pye and his sister, Rachel, feel pretty smart themselves for buying Ginger. It was the best dollar they ever spent. Ginger steals everybody's heart . . . until someone steals him!

It took a long time to figure out where the dog was but other than that it was a cute story. (

The Pye family are a happy and loving family in early 20th century USA. Jerry Pye yearns for a dog. He and his siblings work hard to earn the money to get a puppy and finally get Ginger. After a short time together Ginger goes missing and the whole family works hard to find their missing family member. A little old timey and slow. (
