The main character Billy is a kind, perseverant, stubborn little boy who knows exactly what he wants and knows how to get it, I think he is perseverant because he saves up money for two whole years in order to buy his red hounds.  Billy’s grandfather is a supporting character in this book and he is a good hearted, supportive wise man who would and does everything possible for his grandson Billy, in my opinion he always wants the best for Billy and he is his biggest “Cheerleader”. I think that the item that Billy would place in a time capsule would be the cut out from the magazine that has an advertisement for the dogs he bought. The significance for that is his only wish was to get two red hounds and when he found that ad he decided to save his money in the next two years in order to buy them. Future generations wouldn’t necessarily understand the value behind the ad; because now getting a dog isn’t a big deal but back then it was something that cost a lot of money and was hard to get.
