Old Yeller, by Fred Gipson, takes place in the 1860's in the state of Texas. Travis and his family
live in the country in a log cabin. "Yeller" the dog shows up one day and
becomes part of the family when he saves Travis' little brother from a bear.
Travis and Yeller becomes insepererable. The dog helps him hunt and mark hogs.
He saves the lives of the family and is a hero.
I
really enjoyed reading this book. It is something that not many people have to
go through and it's really sad when it does happen. Though as times goes by, you
can feel good again. We can easily empathize with Travis. Family is important
and we never want to lose them. It's very good to appreciate your loved ones,
even if they are an animal, too. If you really love animals, you will enjoy
reading this American classic.
