वह चलता ही गया और उसे अपना संबंधी, एक बड़ा भेड़िया मिला जो उतना ही शक्तिशाली था जितना वह डरावना था।
“कुत्ते, तुम कहाँ जा रहे हो?” भेड़िया ने पूछा।
‘मैं किसी की तलाश में हूँ जिसकी नौकरी कर सकूँ। भेड़िया, क्या आप, मेरा मालिक बनना पसंद करेंगे?’
‘मुझे नहीं कहने का कोई कारण नजर नहीं आता। ‘भेड़िये ने उत्तर दिया, और यह बात तय होने के बाद, वे दोनों इकट्ठे चल दिए।
वे चलते ही चलते गए, और अचानक भेड़िया ने अपनी नाक ऊपर की तरफ उठाई, सूंघा और तत्काल, रास्ते से हट गया और झाड़ियों के बीच छलाँगें लगाता हुआ, घने जंगल में जा पहुंचा।
कुत्ते को बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ।
‘मालिक, आपके साथ क्या बीत गई है?’ उसने पूछा-‘किस चीज ने आपको इतना भयभीत कर दिया है?’

वे चलते गए और तुरंत उन्हें गायों का एक झंड दिखाई पड़ा परंतु ज्यों ही वे उनके पास पहुँचने ही वाले थे, एक भयानक शोर को सुनकर वे रुक गए। गायें जोर से रंभा रही थीं और आतंकित होकर सभी दिशाओं में भाग रही थीं।

भालू ने एक पेड़ के पीछे से (दूर तक) देखा और फिर वह भी तेज रफ्तार से भागता हुआ गहरे जंगल में पहुँच गया।
“अब, मुझे यहाँ क्यों आना पड़ा?” उसने कुत्ते को बताया। “वहाँ शेर था जो इस क्षेत्र के जंगल पर शासन करता है।”
“शेर? वह कौन है?”
“क्या तुम्हें पता नहीं है? वह पृथ्वी पर बलिष्टतम जंगली जानवर है।”
“ठीक है, तब तो भालू, मैं आपको अलविदा कहूँगा। मुझे वैसा मालिक चाहिए जो पृथ्वी पर दूसरों से अधिक बलशाली हो।” और शेर से यह पूछने के लिए कि क्या वह उसका मालिक बन जाएगा, कुत्ता उससे दूर चला गया।
शेर इस बात को मान गया और कुत्ता उसके साथ ठहरा रहा और काफी लंबे समय तक उसकी सेवा की। वह बढ़िया जीवन था, और उसे किसी बात की शिकायत नहीं थी, क्योंकि शेर से बढ़कर जंगल में कोई दूसरा जंगली जानवर बलवान नहीं था और कुत्ते को छूने या किसी प्रकार से रुष्ट करने की किसी में हिम्मत नहीं थी।

“क्या बात है, मालिक, क्या कुछ परेशानी आ गई है?” कुत्ते ने आश्चर्ययुक्त होकर पूछा।
“मुझे, इधर आते हुए किसी आदमी की महक (गंध) आ रही है,” शेर बोला। “इसलिए, इसी में फायदा है कि हम भाग जाएँ नहीं तो हम मुसीबत में पड़ जाएँगे।”
“अरे, अच्छा, तब तो मैं आप को अलविदा कहूँगा, शेर। मुझे वैसा मालिक चाहिए जो पृथ्वी पर दूसरों से अधिक बलवान हो।”
और कुत्ता उस आदमी से मिलने के लिए दूर चला गया और वह उसी के साथ ठहरा रहा और वफादारी से उसकी सेवा की। यह बात बहुत समय पहले घटित हुई थी, परंतु अभी तक कुत्ता, मनुष्य का सर्वाधिक वफादार नौकर है और वह किसी दूसरे मालिक को नहीं जानता है।
