Beck's dad Fred is the author of the book Old Yellow. Fred early days was doing odd jobs around Mason Tx. Breaking mules, building fences, and painting. One day his brother who was at Texas University called and said come to school you can get odd jobs and go to school. He majored in journalism. All his life he was a story teller. His stories were always based on events that were true. The story in Old Yellow is based on what happened to his grandfather. The dog was different that the movie. The dog was defending his grandfather against a rabid wolf.
