Résumé
Felix was the most experienced wolf trapper of the plains, but there was one wolf that he had never been able to outwit, a wolf that the men called Old Rip. She had only contempt for men and their traps… and poison, and she knew enough to keep out of rifle range. So when one day a stranger brought a big gray pup with a ring of white around his neck to Cole Campbell's ranch, Felix saw in him the makings of a great wolf dog—and a chance to kill Old Rip—who had been the scourge of the cattlemen for years. Jube quickly captured the hearts of all the men by his bravery, his gentleness, his almost human intelligence. He learned never to stray too far from Felix, his master. Together, Felix and the great dog roamed the plains, searching for Old Rip. Many times she eluded them. Once Jube was almost killed by the poison Felix put out for the wolves. But as Jube grew older and stronger, Felix's hopes for trapping the dangerous wolf increased. And one day in a battle to the death, Jube proved the greatness of his heart.
