I thought it was interesting how the story started with the two animals being friends, and that it made it almost sad when they ended up as enemies at the end. However, I don't think it really makes sense how they became enemies. I don't get why the cat wanted them to never see each other again, or why she was so angry when the dog accidentally showed up again, especially since there was enough room and food for both of them.
I also thought it was cool how the dog was shown fulfilling some of the jobs humans train dogs to do for other animals. He acted as a guard dog for the wolf, hearing approaching danger and going out to chase it away, (although the wolf probably would have been better suited to fighting off wild animals) and he warned the sheep when the wolves were coming like a sheep dog.
