Wolves are very fond of their leader. They call the leader alpha. The pack believes that
their alpha is special. If they feel that their leader is alarmed, they also alarmed. If they see that
their leader is peaceful, they are peaceful. The pack gives this wolf a lot of loving tribute. They
do this by biting the admired leader very gently under the chin. The leader will probably return
this sign of goodwill. It does this by biting the friendly wolf gently on the top of the nose.
These signs of friendly affection between the leader and the pack go way back into wolf
history. The wolves seem to love it.to lo_________________________ (pakidugtng po ang
