Goodbye Lukas
Lukas R.I.P. (April 28, 1998 – August 20, 2010)
Although Lukas was known to maintain a safe distance from human visitors, his presence never failed to impress those he met. His piercing eyes and high-pitched howl enchanted visitors, staff, and volunteers alike. Ladies couldn’t resist falling for him! Lukas was a beautiful animal and he served as an impressive ambassador for his wild brothers and sisters.
Lukas’ passing comes just 5 months after the loss of Apache. The timing is painfully fitting, the beta forever devoted to the alpha of the pack. Soon Lukas will join Apache as a part of the Yellowstone landscape where they will forever dwell among so many other principal characters in the wolf world.
We didn’t let Lukas go without a fight. A team of knowledgeable and talented doctors generously donated their time, facilities, and treatments to give this cherished animal a second chance. We cannot thank them enough.
