Awesome! I remember reading (and re-reading) this story when I was a kid. Had a real impact on me. I`m looking forward to watching this…and re-reading the story yet again. Thanks PBS!!!

later while reaching for some sand seton is caught by the hand,while stretched out trying to reach the trap key with a foot hes grabbed by another trap,only the arrival of his dog the next day saves him by fetching the trap key and so he gave up trapping after experiencing first hand the ordeal,he was the greatest naturalist,his autobiography”trail of an artist naturalist” sheds a little light on how thoroughly,painstakingly he studied,truly the greatest of the great!!!

The sentiment of the novel, the implicitness of the concept of wholesome love as most sublime feeling, touched my soul, my inner self.It is healing and triggers inner dialog with my “self”, to contemplate readdress many concepts of love and humanity. More often we should be reminded on our human nature by the intelligence and human habitus of the animals.

I enjoyed the video and bought the DVD last night. What a tragic epic, showing humans for what they are- cold blooded killers whose greed and lust for profit knows no end.
There is one correction to the video that should be known, Bianca was not shot as implied by the gunshot sound- according to Seton’s own book two [cowidiots] threw lassos over her head and headed in different directions with their horses, basically they tortured and tore her in half.
With Lobo they jammed a stick in his mouth and tied his muzzle shut and took him to the barn, and tied him up. He died there a day or two later in the night.
Anything goes when it comes to protecting the corrupt CATTLE industry who wants the public to foot the bills for their livestock’s care. Boycott meat and send a message to them!

The story, it changed the way that I researched wolves. Every day I go into Jack’s enclosure and I think and conmunicate with him. An actuall wolf, yes. And when I saw the film about El Lobo, I was sick for a week and heartbroken. I never imagined that a wolf (or any animal) would have to die such a greiving death. Now I think of Jack and his pack as an equal, because they are truly smart and intelligent animals.

Absolutely amazing film, Nature/PBS! I’m so pleased you made this available to watch on your full episode collection – teaching more about the history of wolves. They’re such beautiful and intelligent creatures. More wolves please!

This was an incredibly touching story – I’ve never seen anything quite like it! I’m a third generation Afro-Native American and consider myself more of a “city-girl” than “nature lover” but this story reaches beyond nature and touches humanity in a deeply moving way that shows our common oneness. Thumbs up for PBS–although, I’d have to agree with some of the previous comments regarding American Natives. It’s unfortunate that from this we can infer Mr. Seton sought only a relationship with the landscape rather than a relationship with those who best nurtured the land and its inhabitants.

I was just messing around looking for the local legend of a wolf named Lobo from Minnesota. I came upon this and now im looking forward to seeing the movie on this Lobo. The story about the northern Lobo was that he was a lone wolf that hunted alone killing for sport not for food. It would kill many animals at once not eating any of them. From what I understand that went on for years until he was trapped. Lobo the minnesota wolf is now on display at the trading post in Bemidji Minnesota with its full story.

Although I am a fan of individual observation and thought, Mr. Seton could have served himself wisely if he had just asked a nearby American Indian about this sacred animal. The relationship of Indians and wolves go back much further than a few years. I wish PBS would have mentioned the tragedy of this missing point of view in addition to as Lobo’s!
