A familar relative!

Yesterday, the girls stayed home while we went to San Diego Zoo. I was able to meet a relative of the girls though! They had this wolf clicker trained to target things, howl, and show some other behaviors. It was interesting to note that they had the wolf live with a dog. Same with the Cheetah. They lived with a Golden Retriever so the dog would come out near the audience too showing the wolf that everything was okay. When you are able to get close to them... it is hard to see them for something other than big puppies! I bet Belle could keep him in her pack!

It was also interesting to see the variety of animals they brought out and the fact they used clicker to train them for simple behaviors!
