OT Extraordinary Wolf pics

These pics are from a rehab and sanctuary for wolves in Indiana-- one
of their wolves suffered a spinal injury, and needed extensive therapy
to recover from paralysis. These are pics of one of his physical
therapy sessions. Look at that magnificent animal. Doesn't he just
make your heart melt?

he's brave and has a very endearing personality:

I read his story, too-- he's a really remarkable boy. He was the
alpha of his pack, but had to be "retired" and isolated because of his
injury. But he kept the alpha characteristic of automatically
feeding puppies whenever he encountered them-- in typical wolf
fashion. ERP!

Yup, I read as much of the story as I could manage. Amazing that they started
the record of his back injury in 1998, and the last post was only three months
ago.

I wonder what guidelines they use in determining how to treat the wolves. I
mean, they are clearly not trying to train him to act like a dog, but on the
other hand they use treats to train him out of bad habits. It must be an
interesting line to walk.

He is a beautiful, beautiful wolf. I'm glad he's getting help to recover
from his injury. It would take courage to massage a wolf though, I'd think.

Oh, what a gorgeous and magnificent creature. Those eyes are just, well,
there's definately a soul behind them, and so much wisdom too. I can see why
the wolf is a powerful totem animal in many native cultures.

These people are pretty sophisticated in treating wolves-- it's a
facility with a long history of helping them. The wolves are not
tame, but they are socialized to handling, so that they can get
medical treatment when necessary.

I'm sure they have some sort of policy to do this, but I guess I'm not clear
on the differences in behavior between this wolf and a dog whose owner hasn't
bothered to really train him.

He may not be tame, but I don't know what other word to use when a wild animal
licks humans, lets them pet him, and submits itself to chiro treatment without
much complaint.
