A young wolf pup wandered away from his pack, and found a family camping in the mountains. They mistook him for a stray dog and took him back home to Kansas as a pet. All was well until two years later, when they went back to camp in the same spot. The pup, not having learned the skills of wolves in a pack, got lost and wandered for several days, until, tired and hungry, his instincts took over and he let go with a lonely, mornful wolf howl.
Luckily, his wolf mother happened to be in the area and recognized his wail. She came to the rescue, bringing a dead rabbit. "What's this?" the pup asked.
"Carrion my wayward son. Save me a piece when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more!"
