The big, ugly, yellow dog showed up out of nowhere one night and stole a whole side of hanging pork, and when Travis went for him the next morning that dog started yelling like a baby before he was touched. Such a book, we submit, is Old Yeller to read this eloIquently simple story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience. When a novel like Huckleberry Finn, or The Yearling, comes along it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the respouse it evokes in the reader.
