After Lobo was killed by Bengal, Red Wolf performs a ceremony and then skins Lobo which he then dons as his new headdress/cloak. Four drunks come across a mother wolf suckling her five wolf cubs and shoot her, and then go after the cubs and shoot them down one by one. Red Wolf intervenes, taking down the drunks, and rescues the last wolf cub. He will name this wolf cub Lobo after his original companion, and it will grow into Red Wolf's second loyal wolf companion.
