Puplup looked around him. His fur stood on end as he tried to block the noise with his paw. His claws dug into his skull as he saw his neighbors running in terror. The wolves were attacking and he didn’t know what to do!

He heard deep growling and looked behind him. A great black wolf was slaughtering a pup with a wicked sword only a few yards away. Horror struck to see them attacking young ones, Puplup felt himself raging. He was growing, his claws were now clawing the dirt, and his eyes were fixed on the wicked wolf!

Puplup’s growl seemed to draw the attention of the killer, because he was slowly moving towards him. Eyes lit with murder the black wolf edged closer. His sword swayed dangerously as he advanced toward the growling teen.

Puplup growled deep in his throat. Then something happened. He felt cool energy surge in his veins, vision seemed to focus only at the danger, and Puplup felt the need to bark. He didn’t know why but he knew that he had to bark or something would happen!

Puplup gave a deep menacing howl of a bark at the dark wolf. When Puplup’s vision came back to normal, he saw what had happened to the evil wolf! The dark wolf sword held high ready to strike was frozen! He was frozen in stone! He had turned into a statue! Puplup looked at his paws and felt around his muzzle.

“How did I do that?”
