No, but a creepy neighbor keeps showing up while the woman's husband is away on a cattle drive. He claims he's there to protect her and the children, but he has little respect for them. His daughter wants the main boy to fall in love with him and cries when he doesn't fawn over her gift.

A man seems to have trouble getting over his laziness, and it's implied that the other men don't want to be around him because of it. The youngest boy is agressive and entitled throughout the movie, and the mom seems helpless with trying to control it.

Old Yeller is injured and spends his time whimpering in a cave during his recovery. It's also fairly disturbing to hear that the mother cow won't nurse due to rabies and that the calf has nothing to eat.

People are clearly going through and marking yes on everything out of spite for the movie, there's no rape whatsoever. Take these yesses with a grain of salt please.

Meat is hung up right in front of a dog's face, if he licks it he'll be executed. Thankfully the dog survives the test.

Getting "hyrophobia" (they don't use the term rabies) causes the animals to act abnormal and lose their personality, so it feels like possession, just not by a spirit but a virus.

No, they don't have the incarceration tab yet on this one, but do on other movies--so I'll put it here: the dog is locked up in a wooden cage for a month, it's either that or immediate execution.

We don't know why the little boy is so violent. The canines in this movie react violently due to rabies.

There are lots of scary moments and scared faces in this movie as they react to frontier dangers. It's hard to tell what's going on internally.

You don't see it, but a cow has a calf, and later won't nurse it. We also hear that old yeller has fathered some puppies, and they show up later and are rejected.

This is just after the civil war in the south, so you can definitely ignore any yesses that would not be present in this time period.
