I wrote this in fifth grade. I have no idea what I was thinking, but it's rather amusing to look back at it and read it now. It's about a wolf trying to make his way back home.

A/N: Okay, so I wrote this in fifth grade… apparently a wolf from Alaska mysteriously winds up in South America where he is worshipped as a god. I don't know what I was thinking but here you have it…
Sundog was a big white pup
In a Mayan temple he woke up
He was wrapped in chains and cuffs
Sundog had had quite enough
Sundog was lost
He was far from home
He was in a Mayan temple instead of
The city we now call "Nome"
He was a windwolf not a sundog
And he lived not in a temple but a hollow log
The Mayans had painted a sign around his eye
If he didn't eat soon he would surely die
In the corner they had left him some meat
But he found golden cuffs around all four feet
The Mayans were treating him like royalty
But poor Sundog didn't see
Sundog began to act crazy
Because windwolves are not at all lazy
He broke free from that chain
And his freedom he did gain
Sundog took the meat and ran
Through jungles and through the sand
He travelled for many days and weeks
Perhaps even months
And the meat did not last,
So he went on hunts
When he got to North America, bleeding were his paws
And though not one was familiar, he heard wolf calls
Many people feared Sundog and called him "Great Dog Spirit"
And though not one could see this wolf, everyone could hear it
They thought Sundog was a ghost and gave him offerings of peace
Meat, corn, jewelry and pots, and blankets of soft fleece
He took the meat and the corn,
Leaving the jewels and bowl
For the "Great Dog Spirit"
Would not need them to reach his goal
He crossed the country after many, many months
Everyone doing the same:
Fearing this "Phantom Dog" and wondering
From where Sundog came…
A/N: And that's as far as I ever got. I can only assume "Sundog" the "windwolf" made it back to Nome safely, where he could live in peace and avoid all those nuts trying to worship him and give him offerings.
