| - Due to being covered in mud at the time, Fang is brought to Shelter 17 along with a frightened dog named Buddy who spends most of the episode fearing Fang will eat him. Fang regards everyone with scorn, but softens a bit around Cookie after she angrily chews him out for his improper behavior and helps nurse his wounded paw back to health. It is then revealed that Buddy lives with a family in the same area as Fang's pack, which prompts the Pound Puppies to encourage Fang to lead Buddy back there to reunite his family. Fang finally decides to help after encouragement from Cookie. She accompanies him and Buddy in getting Buddy back to his family, and the two fall in love in the process. Cookie decides to remain with Fang in the wild, which does not sit well with the other Pound Puppies (especially Lucky who is in love with her). She enjoys it at first, loving a lot of the freedom Fang experiences. However, this is short-lived as Fang leads his pack to ransack Buddy's family's cabin for their food, an act Cookie vehemently opposes. Fang tries to encourage Cookie to do as his pack does, arguing there's no reason not to when the humans aren't around, and then turns his attention to the family's other pet with the intent of eating him. Buddy stands to defend the other pet and the conflict further escalates when Lucky and the other Pound Puppies arrive to convince Cookie to return with them. Cookie settles the matter, deciding to return to the Pound Puppies and asking Fang to leave this family alone and move on. Fang relents, much to his pack's disdain, and departs, keeping his promise to Cookie. But before leaving, Fang assures her that if Cookie ever feels like howling at the moon, she can give him a call.
