"Boys will be boys, but there comes a time when justice must be done. An old man's dog is killed for no reason at all by a teenage boy and two of his friends. The boys figure they can get away with it because dad has money and power. As it turns out dad is just as mean and hateful as the boys. The old man wasn't going to let them get away with killing his best friend so he made sure justice was done one way or another. This old man proved that where there is a will there is a way. Justice is done. You have to read the book to find out how."
