Shadow has always deserved our respect as the pack leader and a complex and sometimes challenging wolf. On Friday, he gained a bit more respect and made the staff wonder about behavioral motivation. After Malik did the 2nd hair band removal from the Curator, Shadow approached Malik, did a stand over threat display, Malik dropped the band, Shadow picked it up and allowed the Curator to retrieve it. Was this just something that Shadow wanted or did he just see Malik having an increase in status because he was excited to have it and that warranted some dominance. Or, did he get it back for the Curator… who knows, but it is fun to observe and ponder, unless you're the one getting your hair pulled.
