They are about the same. the animal sacrifice theme ( lead male character is led to shoot the title character as he has become rabid. Maybe the movie was in a more modern setting. Not having seen it, I do not attempt to, well review books I have not read. I don"t like it. The animal sacrifice theme is quite common in some animal tales, but obviously doesen"t work with continuing characters such as Lassie or Gentle Ben, to name but two, Lassie did pour on the Lachrymotor overdrive, though.

What disease did the cow have in the book Old Yeller?

old yeller had rabies


What are some differences between the Old Yeller book and the Old Yeller movie?

The only major difference between the book and the film is that in the book, Mrs. Coates convinces Travis to shoot Old Yeller shortly after the dog fights the wolf and is exposed to rabies (during the incubation period), whereas in the film, Travis insists on waiting until Old Yeller develops symptoms before killing him. In the book Travis and Yeller had not fully recovered from the wounds they received from the hogs. Mrs. Coates and Bud Searcy's daughter Lisbeth had gone to burn the cow carcass and return being chased by the rabid wolf which is kept at bay by Yeller. Travis shoots the wolf as it is about to kill Yeller but in a cruel twist of fate is then forced to kill Yeller because he has been exposed to rabies will eventually become a deadly threat to the family. There is also the minor difference in that Old Yeller is bob-tailed in the book. Whereas, in the movie, he has a long tail that arches over his back (similar to the tails of Arctic sled dogs). Another major difference is that Old Yeller appears as a Lab/Mastiff mix, while in the book he is implied to be a Black Mouth Cur.
