The Wolf and the House Dog is a fable that in some ways teaches that liberty is the only way and that the dog represents oppression. I find this fable a little weird simply because the dog gets everything it wants and occasionally wears a collar. I mean for the reals, the dog is walking the streets at night and runs into a wolf. 

I am not sure what the real message behind this fable. I did however take a stab at making my interpretation funny on Deconstructing Aesop's Fables, also available on Anchor or wherever you get your podcasts or wherever you got this podcast. Check out Deconstructing Aesop's Fables
