When Smudge the puppy runs wildly around Turtle Bay instead of letting the kids take him to the vet he also snatches Handyman Hank's delivery list. Recognizing that Smudge is afraid but that he loves apples, Joe and the friends entice him to give up the book and calmly get a check up. Lesson learned on Seven Teachings Wheel - Love (Eagle) for loving Smudge enough to understand his fears of the vet. Wolf Joe follows Joe, a young indigenous boy who is inspired to explore his indigenous culture and identity as he embarks on adventures to help his community. Joined by his best friends, Nina and Buddy along with Smudge the puppy, together they turn everyday experiences into awesome adventures around the great outdoors of their Northern home of Turtle Bay.
