The following video was taken at Wolf Park, a captive wolf educational facility. While it's incredibly cute, watching how excited the wolves are to see Monty Sloan (photographer and wolf expert), what I find interesting is watching the behavior amongst the wolves themselves, and how they react to the person, then comparing it to that of my own dogs, my sister's dogs, or my neighbor's dogs.
The behaviors are all the same, it is the intensity of them that is different. A German Shepherd, Border Collie, or Akita is likely to have more intense behaviors than a Pug or a Golden Retriever, but they have the same behaviors and body language as their ancestors.
Another cute video recently made rounds on Facebook. I do not know the back story of it, but it is a "reunion" of sorts between a lady and some wolves. While it is sweet how excited they were to see her, I was again drawn to watching the behaviors and body language of the wolves, both amongst themselves, and interacting with the person.
Do you see any of these behaviors in your living room wolf?
