= Character Sketch (Old Yeller) = Travis - Travis is the man of the family and has to take care of Little Arliss and mama, he is 14 years old. He is also a responsible young man, and is very respectful to the people around him. Little Arliss - Little Arliss is Travis's little brother, he is 5 years old and is very stubborn. If he gets mad at people he tends to throw rocks at them, he is also very outgoing and tells a lot of fibs. Mr. Coates - Travis's, and Little Arliss's father and also mama's husband who left. He left for a cattle drive and said he wasn't going to be back for a couple months so he left Travis in charge. Old Yeller - A dog that the Coates family found stealing a piece of bacon and they decided to keep him. Travis hated him but then got to like him some more. Little Arliss and mama adored him. Old Yeller is a very strong and loyal dog. Jumper - The Coates family's donkey. He is very stubborn when it comes to things he doesn't want to do, but momma puts him straight. He helped carry the injured Old Yeller back to the house. Bell - Travis's old dog who he loved very much. He was very obedient and knew what to not get himself into. Though he sniffed a dead rattlesnake head, got bitten, and died. Bud Searcy - He is the Coates family's neighbor who isn't very neighborly all he does is talk and spit tobacco, not very well mannered like his daughter. Spot - The Coates family's cow that produces a lot of milk but was afraid of Travis and didn't let him milk her. She hid from Travis, but Travis found her and milked her by having Old Yeller to put the cow straight. Lisbeth Searcy - Bud Searcy's daughter, not very much like him. She is very nice and would never harm a fly; she also has a dog named Miss Prissy. She is very good with working on a farm. Burn Sanderson- Old Yellers original owner, he is very nice and shows fair manners. He decided to let Travis and the rest of the family keep Old Yeller if they would cook him up a nice meal and then he would be on his way. Missy Prissy- Lisebeth's little dog who is always sweet and playful, not a good farm dog. She had puppies that looked like they couldn't even stand up, just look cute. Mama- Mama is a very calm and kind woman. She always makes sure that her boys are in tip top shape for the day ahead of them. She is very cautious about what the boys get into, like when Travis got attacked by the hogs she didn't want him to go back and get Old Yeller with her.
