Haven’t read the book. Do they call him Ol Yeller because he was Yellow?

We had to watch this in the gymnasium for a school-wide thing. When I was 10. 😭

Why did they punish us with so many pets in peril in media as children?

Is it funny because everyone knows this and I just figured it out? Or a different reason?

I never read the book either, but I never thought about how the dog got its name and your question made me wonder if maybe it just yelled a lot. I might start referring to badly behaved neighbors as Ol Yeller.
