The Northern Mewuk say:
Too'-cha-mo the stump and Choo'-koo the dog are friends. When Choo'-koo is lost and does not know where his man has gone he goes to Too'-cha-mo and asks. Too'-cha-mo tells him which way to go to strike his man's trail; Choo'-koo goes and finds it, and no matter how far away his man is, he follows the trail right to him.
