shadow – Jul 15, 2002 12:00 AM

The new program called Canine Cousins began this month and 2 Canadian Inuit sled dog pups are on loan from Paul Schurke (Wintergreen Adventures. The pups are staying on site from Monday through Friday. The wolves have a lot of interest in them, but more interesting is the response of the Arctic's. Shadow shows more whining and nurturing behavior towards the pups where Malik shows much more aggressive tendencies. The same thing is true for Shadow's response to the Curator's dog Jake. Shadow shows a slight tail wag toward Jake and Malik stalks him, jumps at the fence and appears to be the only wolf that shows a negative response to Jake.
