***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** If there was a little girl more worthy of a friend, I don't know who it is. Gretchen has two working parents that are never home with her and a really nasty nanny that dosen't understand a single thing about children. Gretchen finds a dog that has fallen into an abandoned hole in the ground and brings him home. The dog befriends and protects her and Gretchen wants to keep the new friend she's found. The nanny sees the dog as a threat to her authority, so she goes about finding out who the rightful owners might are. Turns out the dog is a war dog scheduled to leave right away for the front in Europe and the DOD sends a jeep to pick the dog up at Gretchen's house. Gretchen and a few of her more daring friends decide to go find Wolf at the Army training grounds close by. They find Wolf and ask as to whether they can buy him. The private there tells them that they need to talk to the Secretary of War in Washington DC. This might deter a lesser soul, but Gretchen sets out on foot for Washington. Ultimately the Secretary of War tells Gretchen that Wolf has his part to do in the war effort and that she needs to let him go and do the job he was trained for. All's well that ends well, however, and the Secretary sends Gretchen a puppy to hold her over until Wolf returns from war. We never find out if he does.
