Old Yeller By: RAIN VAUGHN
I really enjoyed the book Old Yeller by: Fred Gibson. It takes place in the Hill Country of Texas in the late 1860’s. It concerns the maturing of a young boy who must fight against his own worries as well as against the dangerous Texas frontier. The story can be considered on many levels, but it is first and foremost an exciting adventure of a boy and his dog.
There was some bull that were over their heads on how tough they were. So they start kicking up dirt with their hoofs and go head to head. Travis, momma, and little Arles go outside and watch the bulls …show more content…
That morning a guy named Burn Sanderson rode up on his paint and asked momma if they had seen a old yeller dog with old slick fur. Then momma yelled at Travis and said ‘’go get Old Yeller’’. Then Travis just looks at momma with a little tear in his eye and tells Old Yeller to come here and Burn Sanderson said “ If you like him that much then you can have him if your momma can make the best meal I have ever had “.

So momma let the calf drink off another momma cow. Then finally momma told Travis to go shoot Spot. Then a couple of days later the roan bull that was in the fight got hydrophobia. Then momma, Travis, and Arles went to go drag the cow to go burn her. Then a few days later Travis shot the roan bull and momma and Elizabeth to go burn the ran bull they saddled up ole Jumper the mule. They took Old Yeller with them so that momma and Elizabeth would be safe and so Travis would not worry. Then it got dark and Travis had dozed off and when he woke up Arles was still in the front yard where Travis left him with the speckled pup. Travis was getting worried and all the sudden he could hear momma and voice and dogs growling in the dark ,but could not see them. Then momma yelled that it was no dog it as a timber wolf. Then momma told Travis o go get his gun and to get Arles and Elizabeth inside safe. Then when momma got out of the way Travis took a shot and hoped it wasn’t Old Yeller. Then the growling stopped and Travis walked over there and sure enough he had shot the wolf. Momma walked outside and with a tear in her eye and said you know what we have to do son. She said Old Yeller has been bitten by mad wolf. Travis said “ b-b-but can’t we keep we keep him in an inclosed place. Ill feed him and everything” Momma said no its for the best. Then Travis called Old Yeller outside and shot him
