Buster Meets Carlos the Wolf by Frances J Smith

Buster wondered what it was like to spend a night in the forest. His friends Shep, the German shepherd, and Rodney, the golden retriever, agreed that they would take him, but they would build a dog hut to sleep in. Buster's other friends, Carbon, the black Labrador, Rocky, the big brown dog, Mr. French, the French poodle, and Mutt-Gomery, a homeless dog, would help build the campfire and bring the necessary dog treats.

As they sat around the campfire, his friends saw an opportunity to frighten Buster with an imaginary story about a Wolf, who lives in the forest. So they began to tell their tale.

He is the keeper of the forest, and they say the forest is protected by him, said Carbon.

And he doesn't like dogs. He chases them away, said Rocky.

Buster was beginning to think he made a bad decision and didn't want to be there. His friends grew tired of trying to convince Buster of this imaginary animal. So into the hut they went and fell asleep. Buster wakes up and hears a faint howling in the forest. He tries to wake everyone up, but they were sound asleep. Although Buster was afraid, he decides to venture out of the hut to see if this could be the Wolf.
