Tonya
Littlefoot told David it is unusual for
one of the wolves to warm up to a
stranger that much (I suspect
David may have cheated by wearing his
filet mignon cologne but I'm probably
just being jealous!).
"Even
though I’m smiling I was really taken
aback because I didn’t know where
the wolf was taking this," David
laughed in describing how it felt to
have a wolf suddenly lick his face.
Turning serious he added, "the
moment that Tonya caught with her camera
has a lot of personal meaning to
me."
If you are
ever in the Palm Springs area the
Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is just 70 miles
from town. Visitors are welcomed
Thursday through Sunday from 10am to
4pm. A donation of just $25 will let you
join a one-hour tour (if you donate $150
you will be given a private one-hour
tour with Tonya and the wolves). |
