When was old yeller filmed

Katie tolerates him despite his extreme laziness and tendency to brag, offering him dinner when he refuses to leave. While helping Travis pick corn, Lisbeth reveals that she saw Old Yeller stealing food from neighboring farms, but will never report him because he has impregnated her dog, Miss Prissy. Pleased, Travis gives her an arrowhead, which she treasures, and determines to keep Old Yeller with him at all times, to prevent him from stealing.

That night, he sleeps out in the field with him, hoping to catch the raccoons that have been eating the corn. He falls asleep while thinking of Jim, but wakes to see Old Yeller faithfully chasing off a raccoon family. In the morning, Katie informs him that their cow, Rose, is missing and has probably given birth in the hills. He and Old Yeller set off to find her but when he discovers her newborn calf and tries to carry it, she charges him, prompting Old Yeller to knock her over until she calms down.

At home, he attempts to break her, but can't until she spots Old Yeller and becomes docile. Having proven his mettle beyond a doubt, Old Yeller becomes his constant, devoted companion. Although Travis is devastated, Katie knows she must let Burn take him.

As he leaves, however, Arliss explodes in anger, throwing rocks that make Burn's horse rear and throw him off. He is at first angry but then takes Arliss on his knee and agrees to trade Old Yeller for one horned toad and a home-cooked meal, which Katie supplies with pleasure.

Upon leaving, he informs Travis that a plague of hydrophobia, or rabies, is affecting local animals, with telltale signs that include staggering, viciousness, and unprovoked attacks. Later, Travis takes Old Yeller, and they follow wild hog tracks until they find a herd. Old Yeller ably corners them, allowing Travis to climb a tree and swing a lasso down to rope one. When it falls, however, it pulls him down from the tree, where a boar bites him in his leg. Old Yeller swiftly attacks it so Travis can run to safety, but he is severely wounded in the process.

Travis hides him in a cave and limps home, where Katie dresses his wound and at first refuses to let him return to Old Yeller.

When she sees his distress, however, she relents, and takes him by horseback to find Old Yeller, who is already being circled by buzzards. Although his wounds are deep, she tends to him and brings them both home to recuperate. Soon after, Bud and Lisbeth visit.
