topic research: the lonely wolf

For my project, I think I am going to stick to the topic of wolves.

After researching, wolves a few stories came to mind:

1. I learned that wolves are social beings and always like to travel with at least one mate at all times. I think that I could make a story about a wolf that was left behind from the pack and ended up pairing up with a family house dog since the other wolves abandoned him.

2. I also learned that wolves are very territorial animals. For that reason, I would like to include a plot twist similar to the one in the Beth Gellert story. I could have the abandoned wolf become territorial over a neighborhood families children and end the story with the wolf saving the children.

3. The last story that I thought of after doing my research brings the dog back into play. I think I may have the wolf mate with the dog and create a pack of his own. This will reestablish the wolf's confidence as he teaches his own pups the ways of the wolf, while maintaining his new-found traits from his dog mate.
