Koohii Story 1 Think yelp when you hear yell to help dinstinguish this from shout (1508). I think of the sounds that would come from the mouths of the 4 dogs if they were bound up together. I´m imagining lots of yelping.
Koohii Story 2 Yell? You mean, Old Yeller. Here, we see four St Bernard dogs all yelling for a chance to play a part in Old Yeller. They´re so loud that you have to bound them, and their mouths, up.
