The moral of the book is to keep your loved ones close to your heart. They will always be there when things go wrong like when Billy's hounds died and they will help motivate to accomplish your goals. Also Little Ann and Old Dan were very close to each other and they would not hunt without the other one so they were very close too.
There are several instances of iron in WTRFG. The first instance occurs when Billy is returning home with his new pups. They shelter in a cave and are 'visited' by a mountain lion...which Billy manages to hold at bay with fire and two snarling puppies. It's ironic that, later, Old Dan is actually killed by a mountain lion, when one was encountered early in the story, almost as a premonition of things to come.
Another instance of irony lies in the death of the dogs. Billy prays for dogs. He figures out how to obtain dogs. He loves his dogs and takes good care of them. Then, the dogs die. They were loved so much and they died protecting the person they loved most. This death, in turn, was a sort of answer (albeit a sad one) to a prayer on the part of Billy's parents, who were saving the profits from Billy's raccoon hides and prize money to purchase a better life. When the amount needed to move the family is obtained, they hesitate to move because they know that the dogs would be miserable cooped up in a town. However, the death of the dogs frees the family to move, even though it is devastating.
