And you won't never see another one like him.

3 scenes Katie Coates What happened?
Katie Coates It was so sudden, I don't hardly know. The wolf came leapin' out at us.
Lucky you had Old Yeller.
Katie Coates It was lucky for us, son, but it weren't lucky for Old Yeller.
He's chewed up some, but he ain't bad hurt.
Katie Coates No wolf in his right mind would've jumped us at the fire... not even a loafer wolf. That wolf was mad. I'll shoot him... if you can't. But either way, we've got it to do.
Mama, listen. Old Yeller just saved your life, and Elizabeth too! And he saved mine and Arliss'! We can't! We don't know for certain. I'll pen him up where he can't get out. And-And then we'll wait. We can't just shoot him like he was nothin'. Don't you understand?
Katie Coates Alright, son. If you think there's a chance.
[Old Yeller has contracted rabies and must be put down; Katie brings out the gun]
No, Mama!
Katie Coates There's no hope for him now, Travis. He's suffering. You know we've got to do it.
Yes, Mama. But he was my dog. I'll do it.
