__________
Wolves are more human than we ever knew . . .
In fact, they can teach us how to be better humans.

what they can teach us about family, cooperation, survival, leadership, commitment and how to enjoy what life gives us.
No other book will bring you closer to discovering the truth about wolves - and ourselves.

'Through The Wisdom of Wolves, we get to feel that little bit closer to the pack and discover what we may have in common' BBC WILDLIFE
