Moe was delighted to have Puppy Joe as a friend. He began to encourage Puppy Joe to come and live with him and his friends in the forest. But Puppy Joe politely said no, because he loved Mr. Bentley very much and did not want to run away from home.
Moe began to tell Puppy Joe about all the fresh meat he would get to eat, and about the beautiful birds and flowers that were in the forest. Hearing such wonderful things, Puppy Joe’s ears stood upright to listen. Moe then said to him that if he lived in the forest, he would not have to listen to anyone telling him what to do or when it was time to come home. Puppy Joe rubbed his head to think and then politely said to Moe that he could not leave Mr. Bentley, who had taken care of him since he was little. Puppy Joe then hurried back to meet Mr. Bentley who had been waiting patiently for him.
Returning home, Puppy Joe began to think about all the wonderful things that Moe had said. Curious to see what was in the forest, he waited that day until Mr. Bentley fell asleep, and then quietly left the house to meet Moe. As soon as they met, the two of them ran into the forest.
In the forest, Puppy Joe was happy to meet the other wild dogs that were Moe’s friends. Looking around he was delighted to see many beautiful birds, flowers and plants. Soon it became dark and Puppy Joe, feeling very happy, decided to spend the night in the forest with Moe and his friends. Unfortunately, Puppy Joe could not sleep for he was restless because of the strange sounds of wolves, bats and insects. Throughout the night he kept thinking how worried Mr. Bentley must be when he discovered him missing. Early the next day, Moe told Puppy Joe to follow him and his friends deeper into the forest, as they were going to get fresh meat to eat. Puppy Joe, feeling hungry, decided to follow them.
While walking, Puppy Joe was suddenly told by Moe and his friends to be quiet for they spotted the dead body of an animal. Being hungry, Moe and the rest of the wild dogs quickly began to eat the flesh of the animal. However, a fight broke out between them as they tried to steal meat from one another. Puppy Joe became very scared when he saw this and sat quietly by himself.
When the fight stopped, Moe ran off with a piece of meat and gave it to Puppy Joe. But, when the other stray dogs saw this, they all became angry and began to beat Puppy Joe. Sadly, Puppy Joe got both of his ears bitten and began screaming with pain. He was so terrified that he rushed out of the forest and ran home.
Upon meeting Mr. Bentley, Puppy Joe began to rub his ears and cry. Mr. Bentley was very sad when he saw him crying, and immediately put bandages on his ears to prevent them from bleeding. When Puppy Joe saw how kind Mr. Bentley was, he finally came to realize how difficult life had become when he chose to follow the company of the wrong friends.
