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? http://www.orcabork.com/Orca_update/...nd_Carrie.html Here's the page telling Orca's whole story. Not only is he gorgeous, he's brave and has a very endearing personality: http://www.orcabork.com/Orca_update/index.html Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |

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!

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. -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted! Eros has a home now! *cheer!* |

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. Melissa |

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. Yowie |

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.

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. -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!
