Originally, Sokka hunted and attempted to kill Foo Foo Cuddlypoops for food, but when he jumped down to stab the animal, Foo Foo Cuddlypoops sidestepped the attack, leaving the Water Tribe boy to sink into a crack in the earth. The cub had a natural curiosity toward Sokka, who tried again to capture it. This second sudden movement caused him to sink even further into the fissure to the point where he could barely move. Sokka continually tried to escape the crack unsuccessfully, during which time Foo Foo Cuddlypoops wandered around him, slept on his head, played with his warrior's wolf tail, and even gave him an apple just out of his reach.
