An Oliver and Company Thanksgiving

James first appears when he and his dog McCoy notice Fagin and Dodger lying injured in the forest and at the mercy of a pack of wolves. As they close in for the kill, James fires his gun to scare the wolves and McCoy chases them off. He then takes them back to his home where they are nursed back to health.

At James' home, Dodger and Fagin meet and befriend his family. They then talk about Thanksgiving and start comparing their traditions. He then gives them their Indian names: Fagin's is "Samoset" (hhe walks over much), and Dodger,s is "Mahigan" (which means wolf).

When the rest of the gang-found by James' friend Jack Proudhorse-travel to the Black Elk Reservation where James lives, they are overjoyed to find them alive and well. The two groups enjoy Thanksgiving together and before they leave, James and his family give Fagin an amulet which belonged to his grandfather.
