Timmy Whoof : A story of a little pet bear by Kate Innes
"Timmy Whoof : A story of a little pet bear by Kate Innes" is a children’s animal tale written in the early 20th century. Told in simple chapters, it follows a bear cub’s encounters with humans and dogs on the plains, blending adventure with gentle morals about fear, curiosity, and kindness. The likely topic is a young bear’s journey from the wild into human care and back again, highlighting how compassion can
bridge the gap between nature and people. A cinnamon bear and her two cubs live near a sheep camp guarded by dogs and lanterns. After the mother chases a shepherd and plunges her head into a flour sack—becoming comically “masked”—she is later trapped and taken away, leaving the cubs alone. A kind shepherd named Timothy rescues them; only one survives, whom he names Timmy Whoof. Timothy raises the cub, inventing a playful “candle boxing” game and protecting him from a harsher fellow herder. On a journey, Timmy’s night crying alerts Timothy to a landslide and saves his life, sealing their bond. Timmy grows strong and tame, then eventually returns to the forest, carrying the memory of the shepherd’s friendship as he resumes life in the wild. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
