I usually tell this tale in English as the Leopard-Eating Dog. But as part of a multinational company’s 2021 Advent calendar, I told it for the German children.
Today I often embed the tale within the frame story of The Panchatantra, as The Boys Who Wouldn’t Listen.
And here is an audio recording in German as mp3, part of the CD Geschichten Verbinden (2015), herausgegeben vom Heinrich Pesch Haus, mit Unterstützung von BASF.
