He debates for a while, then dismounts and gets out his rope. He lassoes the head and feet and stretches the wolf out so the animal cannot stand. He then makes a muzzle from a rope and a stick, using the stick like a bit. With the wolf trussed up in this manner, Billy sets out to take the animal home. When he turns the hind feet loose, the wolf tries to run. When she tries to run and hits the end of the rope, Billy is pressed to hold onto her. His next problem is that the horse doesn't want to be near the wolf and grows frantic.
