Book Description:
At first, Travis couldn't stand the sight of Old Yeller
The stray dog was ugly, and a thieving rascal, too. But he sure was clever, and a smart dog could be a big help on the wild Texas frontier, especially with Papa away on a long cattle drive up to Abilene.
Strong and courageous, Old Yeller proved that he could protect Travis's family from any sort of danger. But can Travis do the same for Old Yeller?

A sad story (eventually) but an entertaining one none-the-less.

My 11 year old son didn't like to read until he saw this movie and decided to read the book! He has read 14 books since September! Gary Paulsen is a favorite!
Always a good story. From age 6 to 106 this is an enduring book of a boy and his best friend, a dog, a child, & pure love for each other. A classic. I can read it over & over & cry every time! Best story of the 20th century!
Even if you don't like books like this (as a child, I didn't), you will love this book (as a child, I did). Newberry Honor book.
