About this page: It is said that there are a few events in a person’s life that will never be forgotten. Sometimes it is at the most unexpected moments that these things happen. Finishing up with the photos of the Grizzly and cub, Leo motions that there is something on the opposite shore. A shuffle in the grass, two big ears, a black nosepad – it’s a wolf! And it’s close! But that’s nothing…

Never in our lives have we experienced something like this. A wild animal, in a wild setting has chosen the Mad Dogs to be the point of interest on her afternoon walk. For the next hour, we take part in an incredible event, unlike anything either of us have experienced. Unbelievable!

Wolf on shore, Endicott Arm, Alaska
About this photo: A visitor approaches
With Mad Dog Voyager securely anchored, we continue to enjoy our shore leave. Across a small section of river, this wolf makes it’s way up river, having given us just enough of a glimpse to grab this photo.

Dean sits with the Canon camera at the ready; Leo has the Sony video camera in hand. What next transpires takes place over a one hour period. To become a part of this has been one of the most rewarding experiences since we began cruising – in fact this is an event that might top all others!

Wolf climbing tree trunk
About this photo: Our friend moves in for a closer look.
We are sitting very still and quiet, the wolf has turned towards us and makes its way closer. Without hesitating she jumps up on the very tree trunk where Dean sits, splashing the water off her paws as she jumps up, pausing just long enough for this photo.

Wolf measuring up Dean
About this photo: Eye contact closes the gap
This is incredible! With unbroken eye contact, a connection is made. Deftly moving forward without breaking her gaze, she moves closer for a better look. While remaining alert and cautious, there is no fear on either side of this once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

Wolf moves towards Leo for a closer look
About this photo: Curiosity is a powerful motivator
Sitting in the grass, Leo is a friend, not a foe, as she moves in for a closer look. Her interest has now shifted and she is completely enthralled with Leo checking him out from every angle and position. “Hi, you’re a friendly wolf!” Leo says softly. Leo lies back in the grass and she moves in even closer, at one point even nibbling and tugging the toe of his shoe!
