Aidan- Thought Patterns?

In the world of Ethology (the study of animal behavior), there are many debates about the influence of individual personalities, especially with a social pack animal like the wolf.  One of the challenges we face is to interpret behavior without becoming anthropomorphic (using human terms to  describe animal behavior).  In this photo, Aidan seems to be expressing a particular thought towards Luna.  There are days where the “pair-bonding” behavior between the dominant pack leaders is not quite evident.
