However, his efforts are curtailed from the beginning when Hotspur's children put a silver collar on him, preventing him turning back into human form, although he manages to escape the mansion. Faced with the disdain of his pack, Freddy is challenged to prove his wolf status by moonrise the next day or risk being banished. Six years later, the time comes for Freddy to experience his first wolf transformation, but despite the encouragement of long-term housekeeper Mrs Mutton, he is humiliated when he turns into a poodle instead. With Flasheart dead, Freddy's uncle Hotspur becomes the new head of the werewolf clan, starting various new policies that include an increased dog-catching presence in the town, as werewolves have had a long history of disdain for dogs. Freddy ends up losing the Moonstone to Cripp and Flashheart is apparently killed when he falls off a cliff. Then he jumps to save the Foxwell, accidentally bumping into Freddy. When he attempts to follow his family during their nightly patrol using a magical Moonstone, he inadvertently exposes the existence of werewolves to ice-cream truck owner Foxwell Cripp, and when Freddy's father, Flashheart, try’s to reassure Foxwell that he is not going to hurt him, and ends up scaring him off a cliff. Freddy Lupin is the young heir to a werewolf pack that has been protecting their local town for years.
