The protagonist may be accompanied only by one pet at a time, but can build up a stable of different pet species and rotate among them.

There isn't even any hunting or fishing: everyone in Wandering Willows appears to be vegetarian, and the animals are pets and companions rather than foodstuffs.

It was a scenario that drew heavily from Island of the Blue Dolphins, Little House in the Big Woods, and Julie of the Wolves, but minus the gritty realism.

I imagined that once free of parental protection I would spend my time foraging, picking nuts and berries, building a primitive shelter, digging firepits and catching fish. But no really good adventures could happen to me while they were around. Nothing against my parents, you understand - the details of their untimely demise were always airbrushed out of the story as too upsetting to contemplate.
