Adventures of Jimmy and His Dog Starr David S King

Jimmy Cruze, a 14-year-old boy, and his Border Collie Starr, live on a ranch outside of Payson Arizona. Set in the 1960's, when "Social Media" was reading the newspaper. Jimmy and his friend Mike Dodson, along with Starr, encounter adventures and mysteries during their Summer Vacation. Jimmy has a 16-year-old sister Jean Ann, who wants to become a professional rodeo barrel racer. Their Uncle Doug, a retired Army helicopter pilot, manages the ranch, sometimes doing it from the air in his modified Apache helicopter. Doug is also the guardian for Jimmy and Jean Ann after they lost their parents in an auto accident several years earlier. The Circle C Ranch raises cattle and horses, but is also a dude ranch for guests wanting to experience ranch life. Doug's Aunt Sara manages the large ranch house, and Dusty Gillum is the ranch foreman. There are rustic bunkhouse cabins for the ranch guests to stay in. Many interesting and mysterious stories are told around the campfire.
