From learning about how wolves live in the wild to getting to interact with them in a safe and intimate way, it is a something we will all treasure as a precious memory."

Childrens' Howls

  1. The following are letters and drawings of our wolf-hybrids that we have received from children. We typed what the child wrote, typos and all, in the Left column for screen readersA screen reader is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen (or, more accurately, sent to standard output, whether a video monitor is present or not)., unfortunately some things, small drawings for example, could not be typed. The Middle (text) and Right (drawings) columns are the scanned (images) original documents, click on them to enlarge the image, they will open in a separate window.

    Dear Colette and Paul,

    "Thank you for coming to our school (F.S.C.) and teaching us about wolves. I did not know that if you take a wolf from its original habitat, all the Elk would eat all of the vagitation in that area and ruin the wild life. I think my favorite part was petting Shadow, Allie, and Takota."
