"If that don't beat all. I never saw such a dog." - Katie Coates

Why watch this? Because, every once in a while, a grown man needs a good cry.

Plot Summary: In late 1880's Texas, teenage Travis Coates is left in charge of his family's homestead while his father is away on a cattle drive. A stray yellow dog, initially unwanted by Travis, befriends his younger brother, Arliss, and slowly wins over the entire family through its bravery and loyalty. However, the family's bond with Old Yeller is challenged by the threat of rabies spreading through the area.

Dad's Preview: In the 1970s we tuned our TV's to The Wonderful World of Disney once a week on Sunday night. That is where I first saw this wonderful Western film about a flop-eared yellow dog. Old Yeller soon becomes the family's loving pet and protector. This is a family film treasure - You will be inspired. You will fall in love with that dang dog. This flick will make even the toughest of macho men bawl like a baby. But it's worth every mangy flea.
