In "How to Outsmart a Wolf," a puppy-dog raised by cougars believes it’s one of them—so much so that even after being reunited with its original family, it still licks its face like a cat. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by A. W. Nugent, this charming 1944 tale from Animal Comics #9 captures a moment of mistaken identity with quiet humor. The cover, by Walt Kelly, perfectly captures the puppy’s earnest feline pretense.

In "Lion Dog," a puppy adopted by cougars grows up believing it’s one of them—so much so that even after being reunited with its human family weeks later, it still licks its face like a cat. The story captures the quiet, quirky charm of a creature shaped by its strange upbringing, caught between two worlds.
