Promotion
Promotion on the film began before production started. Movie theaters distributed material promoting the Anti-Yellow Dog Clubs, groups designed for schoolboys to call out Americans not acting with sufficient patriotism that had originally been inspired by the story that this film adapts.[3]
Reception
Mae Tinée in the Chicago Tribune said "There's such a big idea behind 'The Yellow Dog,' that it's rather a pity the picture is not a more complete and masterly thing than it is."[4]
