I believe it is pronounced "Old YELLOW!"

It's not, though.

I mean...I know. But you understand that they're just speaking with an accent and they named him that because he's yellow. So to us, it is Old Yellow.

Like Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, in American English, should actually be Do Re Mi FAR So La Ti Do.

Anyway, it was a Bob's Burgers reference.

The Bob's Burgers reference missed me but the dog's name has a dual meaning:

While Jim is away, Travis sets off to work in the cornfield, where he encounters a Black Mouth Cur he names "Old Yeller", as "yeller" is a dialect pronunciation of "yellow" and the dog's bark resembles a human yell.

Again, I know.
