Travis is a 14 year old boy when his father leaves their settlement, Salt Licks. Travis is in charge of his Mom, and his annoying little brother Arliss. Work was hard for the household until Old Yeller came. Old Yeller was a stray dog they found a few days after their father left. They had lots of cattle, and a old mule named Jumper. Work was hard. Milking cows, hunting deer, checking eggs etc. Life was hard for their family. Old Yeller got his name for how he barks, and how he is yellow. Travis caught him in their meat cellar. He kicked the dog and his little bother threw rocks at Travis. Then Arliss claimed the dog as his but it is not his. Arliss and Yeller find bigger creatures and bring them home like opossums, rats, mice, lizards, and toads. Then Arliss and Yeller find a baby bear cub and take it for no reason. Then they have a charging bear after them. Arliss is bad. Then they find Arliss streaking in their drinking water! Then Yeller saves Travis by boars. They are friends now.
Their family meets someone who claims Yeller! That is bad. But then the man says, you will trade me food for Yeller. They keep Yeller. The man warns Travis that there is a hydrophobia plague around! Travis and Yeller meet more boars in the future. Travis is out hunting boars by a bat cave, and they meet a bunch of boars. This is bad because the boars are mad! Travis gets stuck and then gets stabbed by a boar! OMG. Then Old Yeller saves him but almost dies! Yeller gets a deep cut on his stomach and you can see his muscles! Then the mom sews him up. Travis and Yeller rest for 1 month. They have a helper.Then the plague attacks their cows! They burn up the bodies of the dead cows so no animal gets the plague from eating it. Same thing with a bull that died on their lawn. Then the helper and everyone except Travis, went to get wood. They come back with a wolf chasing them! The wolf went mad. Then it bites Old Yeller! Old Yeller gets the plague so Travis had to do the saddest thing. Shoot him. Poor Dog D:
