What is Nice Work, Little Wolf! about?

When Little Wolf's mother steps out to fetch nails for their dilapidated house, he ventures over a fence and lands in the lazy Porker family's garden. Mistaking him for a puppy, the pigs eagerly adopt him and assign him a series of chores, from fetching the newspaper to constructing a pool and a new house. As Little Wolf grows, so does his workload, until he finally asserts himself, sending the pigs scurrying and calling for his mother to share their splendid new home.
