THE OLD MAN AND HIS DOG is a long sad tale of dog torture and animal cruelty,
saved only rarely by THE OLD MAN and eventually by a tiny girl, young persistent Gertrude.
Abe is an angry old man who carries in his heart the secret pain of his daughter's and grandchild's death. His anger and fear are overcome when he becomes the reluctant rescuer of another group of wild young boys. In the process, Old Abe receives a peace of mind.
