The only thing they and the rest of the settlers lacked that year in the late 1860's was cash, so the men decided to get together and drive all the cattle up to the new market in Abilene, Kansas, more than six hundred miles away. Both times it is Yeller who saves them, only the second time it is not lucky for Yeller, as Travis comes to find out. He made me so mad at first that I wanted to kill him.
Loyal dogs turn upon masters, bulls kill bulls, mothers abandon young but there is only one way to cure the case.
And in finding out, Travis learns just how much he has come to love that big ugly dog, and he learns something about the pain of life, too.
When a novel like Huckleberry Finn, or The Yearling, comes along it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the respouse it evokes in the reader. This book is such a classic must-read. This book starts off very slow, and not very good, but as you progress in the book, it gets so good.

This was one of my favorite books when I was a young reader in the 1970's. Travis was only fourteen, but he was proud of his new role as man of the family and determined to live up to his responsibility. Here the suspense and excitement reach a peak, only to be topped a few pages later when the crazy-sick loafer wolf goes for Ma. Then he got into the spring water with five-year-old Arliss, Travis took an easy hate to Old Yeller, as they started to call him; in fact, he would have driven him off or killed him if it hadn't been for brother Arliss' loud and violent protests, So Yeller stayed, and Travis soon found he couldn't have got along without him. And there was plenty of excitement, like the fight between the two bulls, and the time Arliss nearly got mauled by the bear, and trying to catch and mark the new hogs. Pa and Ma and Travis and Arliss lived on Birdsong Creek in the Texas hill country. This book also clearly shows a change in perspective.
when our beloved grade school teacher read this book to us, and we all cried and laughed. A wonderful boy and his dog story, easily read in one sitting. This tale is perfect for ages ten and up, but out of bounds for the light hearted. I remember like yesterday how he strayed in out of nowhere to our log cabin on Birdsong Creek. On the one hand it's a Western novel about a family's efforts to build a homestead for themselves in the wilds of Post-Civil War Texas. Life on the frontier was hard and Gipson's narrative seems to offer a fresh look at the problems a family could face.

On the other hand it's a "coming of age" story about a boy who's left in charge of the ranch, while Pa goes on a cattle drive to Kansas, and the stray dog that … The big, ugly, yellow dog showed up out of nowhere one night and stole a whole side of hanging pork, and when Travis went for him the next morning that dog started yelling like a baby before he was touched. It is about a boy and a stray dog in Texas. This is a classic from my childhood.
Downloaded when my daughter was picking a list of books she remembered we shared as a family when she grew up. He had to hunt for food and take care of his family. I will try to pass it on to grand kids. Enjoyed as much as my first reading 50 years ago, Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018. Old Yeller is possibly the saddest, yet greatest classic of all time. The theme is friendship and loyalty, as well as don't judge a book by its cover.
