Great story, Erie. I also find wolves fascinating (though I'm really not a dog lover, except maybe border collies). I'm sure I read about some place (in Canada or Scandinavia?) that organises tours at night to go hiking and listen to the wolves.
My wife had a small pack of wolves cross in front of the car on a country road here in Spain, on her way with friends to a cottage for the weekend.
Menfolk weren't invited, so I missed out!
