denali – Dec 1, 2008 12:00 AM

Denali is quite a different pup than Aidan. He is much more relaxed and takes the daily ritualized dominance behavior in stride, rarely submitting to anyone. When Aidan hears dominance, he runs and muzzle licks, trying to submit to whoever is interacting. Denali remains more independent, and is observed to associate with Grizzer more than any other adult pack member. Of course, Denali and Aidan spend most of their time wrestling and exhibiting other social behaviors.
