A man who was looking for gold on Alaska’s Kupreanof Island, next to the Coho Creek River, did not imagine that he would end up risking his life to save a dying wolf and her babies. What happened next marked him forever.
As he made his way through the middle of a forest, he was frozen by coming face to face with a wild creature in a swamp.
Only when he got closer could he realize that it was a huge Alaskan wooden wolf, injured and motionless after being caught in a trap.
Of course, he was petrified with fright, but he soon realized that he was not only weak and exhausted from being stranded for so many days without food, but also that this was a female begging for help.
Although he was very cautious to avoid her attacking him, he saw that her nipples were full of milk. This only meant one thing: she had babies who desperately needed her to survive.
He did not mind risking his own life in order to help the wild mother in distress

He knew immediately that he had to help her, but he was panicked that his good intention would not be well received by the mother. Even so, I felt very sorry for her and her puppies. So he backed up trying to follow the animal’s tracks and soon found a den.
The cunning man imitated the howls of wolves, not imagining that quickly 4 puppies would quickly come out of hiding. They were so hungry that they started sucking the fingers of the good Samaritan. He carefully loaded them into his bag and reunited them with his mom.
The mother hugged her little ones with emotional moans that he will never forget.
However, although the mother witnessed the man’s good deed, she still did not trust him. But he knew that he had to feed her anyway, otherwise she would die. Without hesitation, she brought him the remains of a recently dead deer to calm his hunger.
For the next few days, the man camped near the mother wolf and her cubs, still tied up, for fear that she would react aggressively against him. But every day he took care of looking for food to see if this earned his trust.
The time less thought the mother began to wag her tail in gratitude, while preparing dinner for him.
The man took a leap of faith and decided to release her. She finally licked his hands and allowed him to free her from the nasty trap that had badly damaged her paw.
When they went back to her lair, she made an abrupt stop and with a gesture, convinced her savior to follow her. The man was stunned when he came across a whole pack of wolves, they were the mother’s family and she was introducing them to him.
It was an experience as overwhelming as it was mind-blowing, he just didn’t understand how he started interacting with so many wolves that treated him as part of the pack. But he sadly had to say goodbye.
The mom let out a howl that was clearly one of regret, and so the now great friends said goodbye to each other, without imagining the experience that would unite them again.
It turns out that four years later, the man returned to Coho Creek for another adventure. Nostalgia hit him so hard when he saw a steel trap by the swamp again, it seemed implausible but it was the same one that he pulled out of his friend’s paw.
Wrapped in his memories, everything changed when an imposing grizzly bear confronted him face to face. So he didn’t hesitate to climb a tree when he felt cornered. And the only thing he could think of was to emit a wolf howl.
Thinking that his plan would not take effect, and that unfortunately his end would come, out of nowhere he saw how 4 wolves with their sharp teeth approached to intimidate the bear, forcing him to leave.
Then, one of the specimens stared at him fixedly and both merged absorbed with each other’s gaze. As incredible as it seemed, it was her, the mother he rescued 4 years ago, and of course she remembered her savior.

Although the man promised himself not to return to the place because of how dangerous it could be for his life, his magical experience and dreamy relationship with these animals marked him forever.
This only reminds us that animals are the purest, most innocent and noble beings. And the human being should only take a step back to allow them to own this planet, which also belongs to them
