The ending of ‘’Old Yeller’’ will scar a kid for life.

I saw Old Yeller in the theater in 1958 and loved it. I didn't read the book until well into adulthood.

I also liked the follow-on, Savage Sam, which I also saw in the theater in 1963, but I preferred the book, which I read a couple years later. The book is highly politically incorrect for this day and age.

My favorite of Fred Gipson's dog books is Hound Dog Man (New York: Harper, 1947), which, unfortunately, is out of print and will not likely reissued unless changes are made to make it more politically correct.

Since I have approached the end of my life, and never seen Old Yeller, ow might be a good time to watch it, no?
