Mentioning Where the Red Fern Grows unlocked a memory of my fifth grade class listening to my teacher read it out loud. When we got to the ending, it became a classroom of weeping kids. I’m certain doesthedogdie.com came from a kid who read that book.

Our elementary school had an assembly where the movie* was shown.

It went as badly as you can expect.

*1974 movie. I'm old.

Christ I remember hiding my head during That Part when watching the movie in class. Like I knew what was coming but still, what a tragic loving story for kids to enjoy(?)

Looking back 40-someodd years later, it was actually pretty funny. A couple hundred kids sobbing their eyes out and a handful of bewildered teachers trying to figure out what to do next.
