Buldeo is first mentioned when an American explorer named Harrison says he needs a tour guide for the jungle. A man he is travelling with mentions Buldeo and Harrison decides to find him. When Harrison arrives at Buldeo's house, he informs Buldeo that he had seen a 'wolf boy' whom he would like to take back to his circus in America. Buldeo tells Harrison that his brother was murdered by a tiger many years ago and that his son, Mowgli was lost in the jungle. Buldeo believes that the boy Harrison is speaking of is none other than his nephew, Mowgli.
