Dog Boys is an original short story, set in the fictional Southwestern desert city of Santo del Vado Viejo, and is available here for the first time in any format. Brandon is the new boy at Rose Creek High and he quickly figures out that the one thing you don't do in this school is get mixed up in the struggle between the Latino streetgangs and the Native kids from the rez. But when he sees a big Latino boy bullying a diminutive Native girl named Rita, he can't just turn away. Unfortunately, the bully is a member of the 66 Bandas and now Brandon finds himself pulled into a spiral of escalating violence. His only allies are Rita's family, but even their help isn't going to be enough. In the end, the only way he can survive is to change in ways he didn't think were possible. --Provided by publisher.

Unfortunately, during his first week, he sees a big, tough Mexican guy bullying a very petite Indian girl. He steps in to protect the girl, Rita, and succeeds for the moment. Too bad the bully, Bambino, is the younger brother of one of the leaders of the 66 Bandas gang. Brandon and Rita are now both going to be targets.
Even getting home from school is tricky--and they can't just go home. They evade the gang in Brandon's car, but barely. Brandon wants to call the police; Rita explains that the police can't really help with gang trouble. She persuades him to go with her to her uncle, Rueben, head of the Warrior Society of their Kikimi tribe--or, more casually, the dog boys.
What follows is scary and dangerous and, for Brandon, a truly strange and weird experience. It's a life-changing experience, and things will never be the same.
This is a short story, so it's not helpful to say too much. It's a de Lint story, which tells you something if you're familiar with de Lint. These are smart kids, ready to ask trustworthy adults for help. The adults aren't perfect, but they do their best.
Recommended.
