A coon dog is a type of hunting dog specifically trained to track and tree raccoons. These dogs have keen senses of smell and hearing, and are used by hunters to locate raccoons during night hunts. Popular coon dog breeds include Treeing Walker Coonhounds, Black and Tan Coonhounds, and Redbone Coonhounds.
The main crisis is the Coleman family's lack of money, and their inability to buy redbone coonhounds. The latter's resolved by son Billy working for two years, and thereby earning the money. The former's resolved at the end of the book. For Billy earns enough money from his dogs' winnings to move the entire family into town, where they've been wanting to live. There are other crises, and resolutions, along the way. One's Billy's unsuccessful attempt to chop down the sycamore in which a coon's hiding from the dogs. That's resolved by a wind blowing the tree over. Another crisis is the hunt for the elusive ghost coon. That's resolved by Billy's dogs' successful hunt. And still another's the blizzard that separates the Coleman family from the dogs, during the championship coon hunt. That's resolved by their reunion with their prize-winning dogs.
