Old Yeller is the title character of the film of the same name. He is a Labrador Retriever and a hero.

Role in the film

At first, Old Yeller causes trouble such as scaring the Coates' mule, Jumper, and stealing food from them, which angers him deeply. However, after he saves Travis's younger brother, Arliss, from a mother bear, Travis changes his mind and grows fond of him. They become good friends and work together to keep the farm in order and safe. However, one night, when a rabid wolf attacks, Old Yeller is bitten during the fight and gets rabies as a result. Travis is distraught about this, and reluctantly has to shoot him. Afterwards, he makes a grave for him and buries him in it. Then he starts raising his son, Savage Sam, planning to make him be just like his father.

Trivia

When Old Yeller was rabid, his growls and snarls were really recycled sound effects from Tramp from Lady and the Tramp, when he was fighting the rat.
The growls heard during Old Yeller's fight with the wolf would later be reused in One Hundred and One Dalmatians during Pongo and Perdita's fight against Jasper and Horace, and The Fox and the Hound when Copper was fighting the bear.
Old Yeller's barks would later be reused for Chief from The Fox and the Hound, Nikki from Nikki, Wild Dog of the North, and Toby from The Great Mouse Detective.
Old Yeller was referenced by Ripslinger, Ned and Zed in Planes, and by Sadness in Inside Out.
In the book, Old Yeller is a Blackmouth Cur, while in the film, he is a Mastador (Labrador Retriever/English Mastiff mix).
In the book, Old Yeller has a bobtail, while in the film, he has a long one.
