# Woof Woof — Green Forest Stories character guide

> Woof Woof in Green Forest Stories by Thornton W. Burgess.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Woof, Woof - Woof

**First appearance:** 0113-iv-boxer-and-woof-woof

## Snapshot

A bear cub who trails her brother step for step and mimics her mother exactly, learning the forest's rules by copying rather than by asking.

## Who they are

Woof-Woof is the second of Mother Bear's twins, shuffling at Boxer's heels and sniffing whatever her mother sniffs, solemnly certain she is out in the Great World at last. Her imitation is both charming and precarious, since Chatterer the Red Squirrel resents bears climbing trees and would love to scare the cubs when Mother Bear isn't watching. Her presence keeps the twins' lessons tender, and her nearness to Boxer makes his rebellion feel like a family matter rather than a solo adventure.
