Oooh, nice picture. That's from Hondo, isn't it? One of my favorite movies of all time, and also one of my favorite Louis L'amour books.

And now the bonus question, what was the dog's name?

Since you like trivia, here is some that goes with this picture. “Western star Harry Carey died in 1947. Director John Ford cast Carey’s wife (Olive Carey) as Mrs. Jorgensen (the mother) and Carey’s son (Harry Carey Jr.) as one of the sons (Brad) as a tribute to Carey. In the closing scene with John Wayne framed in the doorway, Wayne holds his right elbow with his left hand in a pose that Carey fans would recognize as one that he often used. Wayne later stated he did it as a tribute to Carey. Off-camera, Olive watched.”

Few actors embody the heroic spirit like John Wayne, whose career starring in westerns and war movies made him the ultimate American icon. Born in Winterset, Iowa, as Marion Michael Morrison, "Duke" (the nickname was after a pet Airedale) started his career as a bit actor in westerns.
