Answer:
Old yeller used to steal food around the settlement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fred Gipson's novel "Old Yeller" revolves around the story of a yellow dog and how he began to become a part of the Coates family. The story focuses on the dog and his acceptance into the Coates family till his death.
Old Yeller used to steal food and meat from around the settlement. We also see Lisbeth promising not to tell anyone that Old Yeller had been stealing eggs and food because her dog's puppies were the offspring of Old Yeller. Moreover, we also find instances of Old Yeller sleeping with Travis in the bedroom so that he will not be able to steal food at night while everyone's asleep.
