There is a boy named Travis and he has a little brother named Arlis that drives him insane! They live on a prairie somewhere out west. Then one day a dog found them. It was yellow in color so they named it Old Yeller. Travis did not like this dog at first, until Arlis was saved by Yeller. Because a Mama bear wanted to kill him. After that Travis started to get used to him. Eventually they became friends and had lots of adventures together, and were very close.

But when Yeller gets sick it breaks Travis' heart. You have to read the book to find out what happens next. It's all about real love, courage and bravery, and what the love of a dog can do for a family. You will love this book. Get a tissue.


Recommended to: Readers of all ages who love dogs. Great A.R. book.
