A frontier story about a boy and a rascally dog with the heart of a lion. A great American classic with millions of copies sold.
"I remember like yesterday how he strayed in out of nowhere to out log cabin on Birdsong Creek. He made me so mad at first that I wanted to kill him. Then, later, when I had to kill him, it was like having to shoot one of my own folks. That's how much I'd come to think of the big yeller dog."
The old yellow dog was an ugly, thieving rascal, but he was clever. A smart dog is a big help on the wild Texas frontier, especially to a boy of 14 who has to take care of his mother, his pesky little brother, and all the work on their land at Birdsong Creek.
Strong and courageous, Old Yeller proves that he can protect Travis's family from danger. But can Travis do the same for Old Yeller?
