On Saturday, December 11th, while the Exhibit Pack was dominating Malik, Lucas was observed bark howling. Even though he's aging, the hormonal surge during this time of the year tells him that he needs to keep the younger boys under control. While he's separated from the Exhibit Pack by the pup pen, he still has a raised leg urination pattern, telling all that he's still the dominant male. Of course, older hips don't let him extend his leg as high as he used to. Last week he was observed propping his back leg on a stump during a RLU. He may be getting older, but he is getting wiser.
