About this title

Review:

Maligned by many humans, protected and respected by others, the wolf remains a mysterious ancestor to our beloved companion, the dog. Shunka, an orphaned cub adopted by the author's family, relates best to children as if he senses their innocence in the bloody history between human and wolf. Like The Hidden Life of Dogs, this book is full of descriptions of animal behavior that delight and amaze, revealing the great intelligence, loyalty, and social commitment of the wolf. Included are pictures of Shunka at work (he starred in a television commercial) and play, pictures that will haunt you at the story's end.
