Pa and Ma and Travis and Arliss lived on Birdsong Creek in the Texas hill country. 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. 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. Such a book, we submit, is Old Yeller to read this eloIquently simple story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience. 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.
