Little House on the Prairie: When a timid young boy named Gideon arrives at Walnut Grove's school for the first time, his stuttering problem is quickly ridiculed by the other children. The child is hopeful when James reaches out and befriends him, but their budding friendship stands to be destroyed when James makes a foolish mistake right in front of Gideon. The next day, James is crushed to learn that Gideon has run away from home. Determined to cheer his son, Charles invites James to accompany him on a delivery trip to Minneapolis. Along the way, they encounter a wolf/dog mix, who takes an immediate interest in James. The creature follows them throughout their trip, even when they reach the city. The two eventually take him back to Walnut Grove to be examined by Doc Baker, and meanwhile, after days of wandering on his own, Gideon goes out of his way to make sure nobody finds him.
