Description

Donkey Wolf is an aging wolf who is no longer able to keep up with his pack and lives on his own near a mining camp. He is nicknamed Donkey Wolf due to his abnormally long ears and is often teased for it. Although he has easier access to food from the camp, he experiences loneliness and yearns for adventure. One day, he overhears sparrows, kept by miners to detect deadly gases, plotting an escape. He decides to help them, freeing them from their cages and embarking on a journey to the ocean, where they hope to board a ship back to England. Along the way, they encounter various adventures and receive help from other animal friends and a Native American boy. The story follows their journey and leaves readers wondering what they will find upon reaching their destination.
