The book Sounder was written by William H. Armstrong.
The book "Sounder" by William H. Armstrong was first published in 1969.
The two main conflicts in the book "Sounder" are the poverty and discrimination faced by the family, and the journey and hardships faced by the boy as he searches for his beloved dog, Sounder.
Yes sounder dies at the end from being all beat up but he did not die when he got shot but he got seirosly hurt. Sounder dies at the end of the book of a broken heart...after his crippled master dies. At this time, Sounder is an old, crippled dog himself.
I don't believe that it was detailed anywhere, but the cover photo & movies would suggest an English Pointer or something very similar.
Sounder won the 1970 Newbery Award.
