Old Yeller is the title character of the book and film of the same name, and a posthumous character in its sequel Savage Sam. He is a Labrador Retriever and a hunting dog. He is also the deceased mate of Miss Prissy and the father of Savage Sam.
He was portrayed by Spike.
From the start, he is befriended and loved by Arliss Coates, but he is despised by his older brother, especially by stealing some of Travis' middling meat. One night, for this, Travis threatens to shoot him between the eyes if he takes one bite. So he doesn't.
Near the end, after having fathered puppies, one of whom is shown to be the title character of the next book and its film adaptation, Savage Sam, Travis is forced to shoot Old Yeller after he had been attacked by a wolf with rabies and tried to attack the family.

You’d think having the book’s author, the same screenwriter (William Tunberg, with assistance from Gipson), almost the entire cast, and a whole lot of experience writing Westerns, they’d be able to pull together something decent.
