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.
