Wolf A Legend of Wolf Song George Stone The protagonist, Wolf, is "a solitary advocate of singing [howling] -- a practice considered by others of his species as perverted and to be punished... But Wolf, inspired by mystic visions of the 'Great Dire Wolf,' knows that singing is the pure release of the wolf soul. On his mission to save his kind from the destruction of spiritual freedom, he picks up an elderly friend, a mate, and ... sires a growing tribe of free singing wolves" by defeating a dictatorial wolf called Rufus.[1]
(Nameless she-wolf) The Crossing Cormac McCarthy The first sojourn details a series of hunting expeditions conducted by Billy, his father and to a lesser extent, Billy's brother Boyd. They are attempting to locate and trap a pregnant female wolf which has been preying on cattle in the area of the family homestead. When Billy finally catches the animal, he harnesses her and, instead of killing her, determines to return it to the mountains of Mexico where he believes her original home is located. He develops a deep affection for and bond with the wolf, risking his life to save her on more than one occasion.
