What was this old tearjerker movie about a dog?

Where the Red Fern Grows could be it.

Savage Sam was the follow-up to Old Yeller, but I can’t remember if a dog dies in the end.

And, Where the Red Fern Grows is the best “boy and his dog” type movie ever! I bet that’s the one you want.

Where the Red Fern Grows

Sounder is another possibility.

A Boy and His Dog?

Lassie come home?

What about “Call of the Wild” ?

Hachikō Monogatari?

So -@gunther what is it?

Nothing anyone came up with sounds like it to me.

@gunther around what year do you think it might have been?

there was one that’s not that old [made maybe 7 yrs ago] but it is a 1950’s timeframe.
i think it was called ‘my dog skip’. with the kid from ‘malcohm in the middle. frankie munez or something.
