The story Nutik, The Wolf Pup is written by Jean Craighead George. It talks about a boy named Amaroq who takes care of a little wolf pup named Nutik.  One day, Julie brings back two pups and asks her brother Amaroq to take care of one of them, so that she can take care of the other. Amaroq named this wolf pup Nutik. Nutik is hungry and weak. Amaroq fed him, played with him, and helped him grow stronger. They became best friends. But one day, Nutik’s wolf family came back. Amaroq was very sad, but he had to let Nutik go. 

Love is letting go instead of holding on. When we love someone, we want what’s best for them, even if that means we can’t keep them with us. In the story, Amaroq loves Nutik, but Amaroq knows Nutik is a wild animal and Nutik belongs in nature. Nature is best for Nutik. Even if he is sad, he still lets Nutik return to nature with his family. Amaroq let Nutik go because he loves Nutik and wants him to be free and happy. The real love is to let them go when they need to leave.

Taking care of someone can teach us responsibility and help us grow into kinder, stronger people. When we look after someone, like a pet or a friend, we will learn how to be more careful, patient, and helpful. In the story, Amaroq takes care of the little wolf pups, Nutik.  He fed him, played with him, and helped him become strong and healthy. In this process, Amaroq learns to be gentle, patient, and careful. By taking care of others, we become more responsible and learn how to love with patience and care.

Humans and animals should be full of love, care, and respect. People and animals can be good friends. We can love them, take care of them, protect them, and treat them kindly. In the story, even though Nutik is a wild animal, Amaroq treats him with kindness and takes care of him. He feeds him, plays with him, and helps him grow strong. They are good friends. When Nutik has to return the wolf family, they are all sad. Animals make our world happier, and we should respect their lives and homes in nature. Whether they are pets, farm animals, or wild creatures, everyone should be treated kindly.

This is a heartwarming story. I learned many things from it. Love is letting go instead of holding on, taking care of someone can teach us responsibility and help us grow into kinder, stronger people, and Humans and animals should be full of love, care, and respect. If you love animals or believe in friendship, you must read it. The author wrote it beautifully. I loved it so much, it brought tears to my eyes. I hope you’ll love it too!
