In mid-twentieth-century America, the streets of Providence's Federal Hill neighborhood are paved with honor and blood. For a young Sicilian boy like Tommy, those streets are cold, hard, and full of lessons waiting to be learned. In Federal Hill, childhood means more than just growing up-it means surviving. Like many boys in the neighborhood, Tommy receives his rough indoctrination into Mafia culture through a turbulent role as a street crew member. From here, the path to success means becoming a fully initiated member of the Mafia family-a made man. It is a path filled with peril, and there's no turning back. A gentle soul with a good heart, Tommy learns that the choice between morals and honor is never easy to make, especially when those decisions may change lives forever. Based on Robert W. Sendling's recollection of growing up as a Sicilian American in the Mafia heyday of Providence's Federal Hill neighborhood, Walking the Dog is a tale inspired by real events where death comes before dishonor and family means more than anything.
