He changed his mind and decided to go on the dirt bank to do what was better. Then it happened, the dirt bank broke under Travis. He fell and he was now with the killer hogs. His hip was severely injured but Old Yeller saved Travis from being dead. Old Yeller’s injury was worse. He had a slash in his belly and insides were seen.

Travis put a cow hide and pillows on the mule and went with Ma and Arliss to retrieve the dog. They found Old Yeller and Ma started to stitch his wounds. They told Arliss to go get a lizard for Ma so they could distract him while they were stitching. Then they put Old Yeller on the mule and started to go home. They got home and everything was good at
