The Father or Uncle ( mature adult rancher) shoots the rabid dog! Thus Old Yeller dies and the story is ended. Animal sacrifice theme but rarely- this was one example, employed by Walt Disney, who did not write the story. It has nothing to do with science fiction, my Gawrsh!

What is old yeller about?

It is an animal fiction the Boy and Dog variety and is unusual as it has a tragic ending. The Dog ( Old Yeller, from his color scheme, not barking habits!) is deliberately shot as he has become rabid from a bite from a snake ( in some versions it is a wolf) anyhow the dog is shot dead- no possibly (grey) ending of the dog merely, say wondering off in a sort of MIA limbo- the animal is also shot deliberately by the Father figure- or Uncle, in the story. Automatically, this destroys any possibility of continuity ( such as the lengthy Lassie series). I am aware of some other animal tales(about pets, not wild animals, who get into fatal fights all the time) but this one stands out. in the Rambunctious Doberman, the title dog is accidentally killed by an automobile backing out of a driveway, as I recall ( radio drama, not TV) The Ice Pan deals with animal sacrifice by an explorer lost in the arctic ice- he uses the dead dogs to construct a sort of danger flag or banner/ That took place around l908 and was based on an incident in the life of Grenfell, an explorer-doctor. How the dogs were dispatched is not disclosed to the audience. ( I heard two radio dramas based on this incident- my guess he shot them. so it goes support the A.S.P.C.A. no need for this sort of thing.


What is the theme of Old School By Tobias Wolff?

I'd say the major theme is a sense of longing for youth, an idealization of "the glory days."
