Jerry Pye really wanted a dog. But, not just any old dog, he had to have one of Mrs. Speedy's Puppies that she was selling. There was one puppy in particular, it was the only male puppy, strong, healthy, and a fast learner. That is the one that Jerry had to have. Mrs. Speedy said that he could have the puppy if he would pay her one dollar by six o'clock the next day. Somebody else wanted the puppy, so he would have to make the money really quick. A dollar was a lot to Jerry and everyone who lived in his town, Cranberry. The next day Jerry met his friend, Sam Doody who needed the church pews dusted. He was willing to pay Jerry one dollar if he dusted the pews for him. Jerry, Rachel and his three year-old Uncle Bennie went to the church and dusted the pews. Jerry finished just before six, he went to Mrs. Speedy's house and made it just in time to pick up his puppy. While Jerry, Rachel and Uncle Bennie picked up the puppy, they saw a man in a yellow hat run by Mrs. Speedy's house. They could hear the man run past by.Then Jerry picked up his puppy Jerry went home with Rachel, Uncle Bennie, and HIS own DOG! (First Summery) (Beginning of the Book) (Second Summery, the middle of the book) At home Jerry and Rachel had to give the dog a name. He was thinking about all names, Jerry's mom came up for the name Ginger because he acts like Ginger. So now they had named their puppy, Ginger Pye. Ginger was the most intelligent dog in all of Cranberry, his town. One day, Jerry kept leaving for school. Poor Ginger didn't know where he was disappearing too. Ginger found Jerry's pencil on the ground from school. Ginger tracked Jerry all the way to school. Ginger got on the fire escape and went into Jerry's classroom. Ginger stayed with Jerry all through school but Wally Bullwinkle watched Ginger very closely, and Ginger and Jerry didn't even notice. Jerry tried teaching Ginger all sorts of tricks. Ginger did tricks without having to be trained! Every one in Cranberry knew "Ginger The Most Intelligent Dog!" Ginger even got in the news paper! (My Last Summery, The END of the book) On Thanksgiving while the Pyes were eating dinner Ginger disappeared! Jerry, Rachel and Uncle Bennie looked everywhere for Ginger they called to him by, "Ginger Pup, Ginger come on Ginger!" They searched for him in caves on every single street. Wally Bullwinkle was a little strange when they came upon his street calling Ginger's name. Once and a while they would hear barking, but they still kept looking. They couldn't find Ginger. One day they found a yellow hat which they recognized they put a red mark in it. Finding Ginger was getting thin, everyday they looked, and their hope became thinner and thinner. One day they saw Wally Bullwinkle on a train to New York, but he was also wearing a yellow hat. Jerry and Rachel went to Wally's house and found Ginger in HIS SHED IN HIS BACKYARD! Uncle Bennie had found Ginger, Uncle Bennie was a hero! Jerry, Rachel, and Uncle Bennie had found GINGER PYE! (The End of the book)
