This is a book about a husband and wife who took on the life of living within a compound of their own making for 6 years and raising wolf pups from the time they opened their eyes. They bottlefed the pups and gained the confidence of the wolves by living with them. For 6 years they watched and filmed these magnificent animals, learning how the pack lives and takes care of the young, old, and injured of the pack. This book is a rare look into the family structure of the pack. How the Alpha Male and Female look out for the pack and the Omega is the lowers of the hierarchy and is the one that gets picked on all the time. The Omega is also the clown who instigates a game of "Catch Me if You Can." the pack is also good for the ecosystem.
