Call for Submissions 

The Wolf Special

                               Johanna Mueller

Wonder. Awe. Fear. Amazement. 

Hatred. Love. Admiration.

Wolves—among the most beloved, misunderstood, and mistreated creatures on Earth—haunt the global imagination. They prowl through our myths, legends, fairy tales, horror stories, and dreams. Some see them as spiritual guides, others as terrifying beasts.

Wolves run for miles without rest. They give gifts to each other. They howl not just to communicate—but to call us back to the wild within ourselves.

As apex predators, their hunting precision is breathtaking—sometimes brutal. Yet they display astonishing devotion: feeding the elderly, raising pups together, living by codes of care and cooperation.

Why, then, this love/hate relationship between wolves and humans?
Why the campaigns of extermination? Why the fascination?

Since the discovery of fire, wolves have circled our campfires. They were our first companions. Today, only one gene separates the wild wolf from the dog curled at our feet.
