“All praise the Silver Moon,” moaned the other dogs. “All praise Shep.”

Shep was numb with shock. Oscar had made him into the Great Wolf’s Champion? What madness had taken hold of the pup?

The dogs rose and trotted off to their various beds. Shep emerged from the shadows just as Ginny was about to hop into her own nest of pillows.

“Shep!” she cried, flustered. “I hardly ever smell you at this end of the den.”

“What was that I just heard you saying to those dogs?” His bark trembled.

“Do you like it?” she woofed, tail waving and eyes sparkling with excitement. “It’s a story that Oscar and I have piled together. We thought that the dogs might like a story to help them in these dark times. ‘Storm Shaker.’ Isn’t that deliciously dramatic? It was my contribution!”

“But it’s crazy,” Shep woofed. “I’m made of moonstuff from the Silver Moon?”

“It’s not crazy,” Ginny said, standing tall, defensive. “Why is it crazy to want to believe your leader is powerful, and powerful in a way that no other dog could be? It gives the old dogs and the pups a mea sure of comfort to think of you as an all-powerful defender of the pack.”

Shep thought about this. He’d been comforted by the old timer’s tales of the Great Wolf back in the fight kennel. Why deny the members of his own pack a similar comfort?

“You’re right,” he woofed, dropping his stance. “Just remember to tell them that it’s only a story.”

“Of course,” Ginny yipped, standing again and waving her tail. “Every dog knows it’s just a story.”
