** Old Yeller's fight with the wolf is rather jarring, especially with their snarls. Travis is reluctant to shoot the wolf since Old Yeller is right in the middle and putting up a fight. When he does pull the trigger, both Old Yeller and the wolf fall down. One {{Beat}} later, Old Yeller walks up, wounded a lot, but seemly fine. Until Travis mother's correctly deduces the wolf must be rabid, since no wolf in its right mind would never leap towards the fire and so close to people. And since Old Yeller's been bitten...

* MisaimedMarketing: Since 2005, Disney and Kroger have been selling Old Yeller Dog Food. The strangeness of marketing pet food as a tie-in to a movie infamous for ending with a dog being put out of his misery goes without saying.

* AngstAversion: One of the most infamous examples in film media. The scene in which [[ShootTheDog Travis has no other choice but to shoot his beloved dog]] (who contracted rabies from a rabid wolf) is just so ''excruciatingly'' heart-breaking for so many potential viewers that they shun the film for their own hearts' benefit.

** Travis shooting Old Yeller when he contracts Rabies. Need we say more?!
** Earlier, Travis checked on his loyal dog, only to be met with a snarling and near foaming beast. He lied to his mother that Old Yeller is doing fine, but it doesn’t take long for the ruse to be pulled after Arliss almost releases him. The way he falls apart when the jig is up is heartbreaking. Travis tells his mother that he should be the one to do it since Old Yeller is his dog. It’s a decision no dog lover should be put through.

to:

** Arliss messing with a bear cub, leading to a literal MamaBear jumping out of nowhere and charging at the little boy. Had it not been for Old Yeller, Arliss would’ve been dead on the spot.
** Travis getting mauled by a herd of wild hogs is extremely unsettling. Again, if not for Old Yeller, Travis would have been a goner. Their bloody injuries are definitely not for the faint of heart.

-->'''Mama:''' There's no hope for him now, Travis. He's suffering. You know we've got to do it.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the dog in ''Savage Sam'' is still decently lovable, there's a lot of unhappiness about how Sam has the appearance of his bluetick hound mother rather than his mastador father, despite what was previously depicted.
