PaisleyJade just finished reading a story about wolves, entitled ‘A Wolf Story’ (witty title), by James Byron Huggins (her review is over at flannelgraph). I’m a huge Huggins fan, but reading about cuddly talking animals doesn’t sound all that macho… that is, it didn’t until this morning. I was researching broad-tipped arrow heads (Deadfall got me curious) when I stumbled upon this photo on a US hunting site…

Way down under here in New Zealand, wolves would be on the very bottom of my imaginary ‘animals that scare me’ list. I mean, come on… they are just big dogs aren’t they? Now, I’m not so sure. The ‘big dog’ in the photo looks like he came off second best.

I’m interesting in reading that book now Paisley…
