Storyteller James Baker recounts the escapades of a small-
town football team that endures the hazards of growing up.
He follows “the Demopolis Dogs through pratfalls on the
field, on the stage, and in their relationships, and on their
twisting trail to becoming men. The Dogs’ journey is filled
with blood, sweat and tears, along with a lot of smiles and
even laughter. On its face, it is a simple story, but with
subtlety that surpasses mere sophistication. Baker brings
you into the experience of growing up male and makes you
feel both the anguish and ecstasy of what for all of us is a
muddy, painful team experience.
The group of boys Baker calls “Us Dogs” appears as a
team, sometimes disjointed by always “all for one, one for
all.” However, each member of the team is such a unique
individual that you will keep reading just to learn how he
arrives at his manhood. At time, the similarity to your own
youthful struggle will cause discomfort for you, as you
recall your own memories of adolescence, but in the end
you will find each boy’s resolution as satisfying as your
own. The boys all make it to manhood, some in better
condition than others.
If one of the Dogs had read this story about himself, he
might have said, “So that’s what it’s all about, know what I
mean.”
