Kenny and his dog, Poochy, are always looking for fun and adventure on the mountain and in the forest close to their home. Kenny suggests they explore the old mine on the mountain. Poochy says, "But Kenny, don't you remember, your parents said to never go near that mine. It is deep, dark, and very dangerous." Kenny and Poochy asked the opinion of some of the other animals on the mountain-Snake, Squirrel, Bear, and Bats. They have different ideas about the mine. Kenny tells Poochy not to worry, it will be fun. As Kenny climbs down an old ladder in the mine, the ladder breaks, Kenny falls and breaks his leg. With the help of Bear, Kenny and Poochy make it out of the mine and safely home. Kenny now has a cast on his leg. He and Poochy have learned an important lesson, it is better to listen to your parents, they may know best. Robert Tripp was born and raised in Idaho. In his advanced schooling he has a B.S.
