A two month old wolf dog named Baree meets an owl enemy and is swept into a swollen creek. He is battered and stranded but survives. Lost and hungry, he endures days of fear and distress while learning from encounters with wild creatures and a thunderstorm. He wanders into Pierrot and Nepeese’s trapping grounds where Nepeese wounds him with a rifle but Baree escapes.
In a perilous night ordeal Baree battles Oohoomisew the winged adversary. Baree sinks his fangs into the hunter’s body, conquers the creature, and lets out a bold wolf howl signaling a new and promising arises for the littlest killer.
Baree heals from wounds and gains resolve as he travels northeast along waterways. The wolf cry of Gray Wolf draws him toward kin and the pack, though inner conflict holds him back from answering the call.
