Overview
Lumawig sends his dog and deer to obtain fire for the two cold survivors at Pokis. Their first attempt to swim back extinguishes the fire, and during a second attempt the deer loses its fire again. The dog’s would also have gone out had Lumawig not taken it in time. He carries it to the survivors himself. The animals act as the deity’s helpers, but the text names neither, gives neither speech, and does not say that either created fire or succeeded unaided.
