The Wolf Conservation Center is home to a few fellas who wear the badge of fatherhood and today we want to give them a special howl-out! Mexican wolves M740 and M566 (RIP) and red wolf M1483, Happy Father’s Day!

Being a dad is so incredibly special, but it can also be exhausting. Perhaps that’s why we have special holidays to honor the patience, hard work, and undying love that parenthood requires. Check out this classic video of red wolf M1483 eagerly waiting to see his then 6-week-old sons M1803 and M1804 early one morning in June 0f 2010. It’s funny to see how often the new dad yawns and stretches, those pups ran him ragged! Try to watch the video in it’s entirety, the loving reunion is worth the wait. Happy Father’s Day!
