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.
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." The Evening Express (Los Angeles) said that it had a "terrific climax" and that the "subtitles are gems of 'punch' and patriotism".
