Rental of the Week: "Old Yeller"



so many good dog movies have been released over the years, but my personal favorite is "Old Yeller!" The 1957 Disney classic is based on the book "Old Yeller" by Fred Gipson. Growing up in Texas during the 1860's, a young boy named Travis has been given the responsibility of taking care of the family ranch while his father goes off on a cattle drive. Travis' mother and younger brother help him tend to the farm, but perhaps the most help comes from a stray yellow dog. At first, Travis wants nothing to do with the stray, but soon the dog, Old Yeller, becomes a loyal friend and helps protect the family farm. In my opinion, "Old Yeller" is the best dog movie out there, and I guarantee it will not only make you cry, but smile as well!
