				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.
