In the book "Where the Red Fern Grows" why does Billy hate dogs? > In the book "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls, Billy hates hate towards dogs because his family had two hunting hounds that were killed by raccoons while they were out hunting. Billy feels guilty that he wasn't able to save them, and this event causes him to hate all dogs. He later learns to overcome this hatred when he gets his own hunting hounds, which he trains and raises with love and care. Lol.
