nice wolf, but think of a small herdsman, tending the sheep.. usually the small fire he builds, and his presence is enough to keep the wolf at bay.. and when one does come round, he take his crook, and bops it on the head.. (or better yet he pokes it good in the ribs with the pointy end.. )

and then, a cold winter day.. he get not a lone wolf, or two or three hunting together.. but more wolfs than you could poke a stick at.. a large pack.. and the herd is ...oops, almost said decimated.. lets just leave it with the wolfs winning...
