Old Yeller (1957 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Heartbroken from the death of his beloved dog, Travis refuses the offer of a new puppy sired by Yeller. Around the same time, Jim comes home with a bagful of money, a new dress for Katie, an Indian headdress and tomahawk for Arliss and a horse for Travis. Having learned about Yeller's fate from Katie, he then explains to his son the facts about life and death. When they got back to the farm, the young puppy takes a piece of meat, a trick that the pup learned from his father, Old Yeller. Travis then understands and adopts the puppy, naming him 'Young Yeller' in honor of his sire."
