Old Yeller

I’ll never forget the summer Old Yeller came into our lives. That mangy, yellow dog stole our hearts and taught us about love, loyalty, and loss. Gipson’s vivid storytelling transported me to the rugged Texas frontier, where I felt the dust on my skin and heard the howl of wolves. Through young Travis’s eyes, we experience the joys and heartaches of frontier life, and the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog. A timeless tale that still brings tears to my eyes.
