I loved this story too…like everyone else, but I am puzzled at the last two sentences about shooting a wolf. What does that mean and what was the purpose to add it to the end of the beautiful story?

This story touched me deeply and gave me a new appreciation for this species, which I’ve always admired for their strength and beauty but regarded with detached caution (I am a cat person).
As a follow-up to this story.. I am hoping that Moonbeam was subsequenty able to have another litter- that presumably survived?

This poignant story of Moonbeam (and Cloud) is one of life, love and loss. We are, all, in this together.
By telling these stories, you help us to understand it better. However, I felt emotionally ambushed by the last sentence; anger–even righteous anger–always draws more attention to the speaker or writer than to the story itself and serves to hijack the story’s integrity and authenticity.

I have long admired the valiant, beautiful wolf. I am sure, shy as they are, they want connection with humans. What a sad story – I am longing to know if Moonbeam had a chance for more babies, that perhaps lived. Thank you for the wonderful work you do, teaching all of us the humility of communing with nature through animals.

I have instinctually known this about these beautiful and intense animals…how do people not see their lovely spirits and love for life? Their compassion? Their devotion? This story struck the depths of my heart. Thank you for sharing it with us.
