Most people don’t want to go anywhere near wolves. Or, if they do, their main goal is to shoot them. But these two men took a different attitude to a wolf they found caught on a wire fence next to a road: They helped him get free.

See, that wolf wanted nothing to do with them either. It just wanted to get the hell away from humans, maybe eat some deer, not be caught in a fence. You know, wolf stuff.
