The 16 year old boy, Travis, shoots Old Yeller. Travis's dad is on a cattle run throughout most of the story. When Yeller gets bitten defending the family they put him in the corn crib, just to make sure he doesn't have rabies. When it becomes apparent that he does the mother goes to shoot him, but Travis stops her. He says something to the effect of no, ma, he's my dog I'll do it.

You got bit by yorkie dog do they have rabies?

Well, you can get your yorkie shots, so they dont have rabiesA bit more:It's not likely the yorkie had rabies, but you need to check with the dog's owner to make sure it has had all of it's shots. And you probably need a tetanus shot; when I got bitten by my own pug my doctor made me get one.
