A man leaves his child alone in the nursery, guarded by his faithful and beloved dog. A serpent (or, in some versions, a wolf) enters, and tries to harm the infant, but the dog fights and kills it. In the commotion, the cradle is upturned, hiding the baby beneath it. When the man discovers the bloody scene, he assumes the dog has killed his child, and kills the dog - only to then discover the baby safely hidden.

Canis is the only story found in the Dolopathos, Seven Sages, and also 'Eastern' versions of the narrative.
