Old Yeller had just drifted in from nowhere, helped himself to a nice side of meat and decided that he had found a home. As it turned out, Old Yeller did great things for the isolated little family. He ran down rabbits and treed squirrels for the table. He helped keep coons out of the corn patch, and when a raging she-bear...
