Old Yeller by Fred Gipson

Just finished listening to this as an audiobook . I am broken , just broken ! I remember years ago I watched the movie with my grandmother as a child and I always believed that the heartbreak that I felt then was due to my young age and the black and white outlook of a child . I was so very wrong , it was a great story with well told lessons on the fairness of life and the strength needed to be a decent person in a cruel world , and what real strength is . I think that this is a classic that all should read , but one that will take days to recover from .
