[Introduction to Contents]
The 11-year-old girl Annie has a partner named Runt, a former stray dog.
Their town, アプソンダウンズ, has not had more than a year of rain, and because the river has been dammed, its pastures and farmlands have dried up and been desolate.
Annie hopes to win the race with a fast-moving, agile Runt and dog obstacle and pay back the family's debt with the prize money.
But Runt had the problem of not listening to Annie's orders when there were people other than Annie.
Still, Annie and Runt are competing to protect their family and save the town ….
This is a work that will surely impress you with the way Annie and Runt confront various difficulties such as being picked up by the Earl who is trying to take away the land, and interference from rival handlers.
