Skeeter has found this dog and discovers no one knows what kind it is. He discusses the matter with his uncle, expressing a desire to keep and train the dog for bird hunting, after finding the dog has super-sensing ability, but it does not bark. It "yodles" or laughs, as some would say. However, the real owner, a kennel Walden Grover (William Hopper) works for, wants it back due to the breed's rarity. A very sensitive and moving film, especially for fans of Walter Brennan and any dog lover.
