The title of the book that I read was OLD YELLER by Fred Gipson. It happened during the time of the cowboys. In late 1800’s after Civil War, it took place in Texas at the time when Travis' father had to go and make money for the family. He made Travis in charge of the 
family.
family.The character in this story is Travis a 14 year old boy who acted like his father and a bit rough to Arliss, his younger bratty brother. Travis lives with his Mom who sure is good in cooking. Another character was a dog that saved the family’s life, Old Yeller, a dog who knows to handle about everything like cows, hogs, especially bears.
The story began when the father of Travis told him that he will be taking charge of the family while he is gone from home for a long time. Travis took care of the family, just like how his father did it and he even acted like his own father. Then, Travis ended up finding a dog eating the family’s meat. Day after day, Travis is starting to find out that the dog could be a good use for the
family. They called the dog, Old Yeller. Most of the time, Travis did not like the dog because he hates his behavior and the dog would yell all the time like as if someone was going to kill him. Then Arliss would come to save the day and throw rocks at Travis.
I think the best part of the story was when Travis was saved by Old Yeller from a bear and Yeller was now part of the family. The saddest part of the story was when Old Yeller was bitten by a hydrophobia infected wolf that Travis had to shoot him. But he was sad because Old Yeller was his most favorite dog. Travis would never forget him.
The book showed love and care to something that was of great use to them. I think the book is GREAT because it shows how to be responsible and that making tough decisions in life can make you a grown man.
