Red's Trail: The Night The Fire Came
Red's Trail
A Western Adventure Series by Dr. Cartrell Cooper
My name is Red.
I'm a Redbone Coonhound.
Most folks across the territory know me as the only dog allowed inside the saloon. They know I'll lie quietly beside the stove while cowboys tell stories, sheriffs gather information, and strangers wonder why no one asks me to leave.
What they don't know is that I'm always listening.
I'm always watching.
And I never forget a scent.
Before I became a trail dog, I belonged to a family. We lived on a quiet homestead where laughter was common and every sunset meant everyone came home.
Then one night, riders came.
The killers made sure no one would survive. They wanted everyone to believe Native Americans had attacked the homestead.
But they made one mistake.
They didn't know a dog remembers everything.
I remember their scent.
I remember their horses.
I remember their fear.
After the fire, I found Ethan-a quiet drifter who carried wounds of his own. Together we became partners, riding from one town to the next, helping people who had nowhere else to turn. We hunt rustlers, murderers, outlaws, and men who think money places them above the law.
Every trail we ride uncovers another piece of the truth.
Every town hides another secret.
Every act of justice brings us one step closer to the men responsible for destroying my family.
But this story is about more than revenge.
It's about loyalty that never breaks.
Friendships forged in hardship.
The people who choose courage when fear would be easier.
And the belief that even in the darkest places, someone will answer the call for justice.
As long as Ethan saddles his horse...
I'll be beside him.
My nose will find the trail.
My heart will protect the innocent.
And somewhere beyond the next mountain...
The men who started the fire are still waiting.
They just don't know...
I'm still tracking them.
