I Am Trying To Figure Out The Name of a Classic Novel?

I forget the name but I really, really want to read it again! I only got through the first half last time, but it was set in the olden days, and it was about a little boy, and he wanted to get a puupy, or two puupies, but his parents or his dad would not pay for them, so the boy had to work himself to get the money to get them. So he worked, got the money, and got the puppies, and I think he used them for hunting? Does anyone know the name of this novel?
