A she-wolf is said to have saved a man's life.
The man already knew the animal.
This incredible story is said to have happened in Alaska.
Kassel/Juneau – A man helps an injured female wolf.
Years later, the animal thanks him for it and saves his life.
Hard to believe, right?
This story is actually said to have happened in Alaska a few years ago.
This is reported by a YouTube video that has already had 19 million views.
It is becoming more and more common for wolves to approach civilization.
Some of them kill sheep and calves.
This year a wolf even stole lamps.
A video proves it.

This is how the event is said to have happened: There are thousands more wolves living in Alaska, where the story is said to have taken place, than in our latitudes.
The man in question is said to have been there looking for gold.
On his way through the forest he suddenly discovered an injured female Alaskan timber wolf.
The she-wolf had fallen into a trap and was said to be completely unable to move.
When he took a closer look at the animal, the man noticed that her teats were almost overflowing - meaning she had had young.

He is said to have quickly decided to help the she-wolf and her cubs.
He traced the paw prints and found her four cubs in a cave about half a mile away.
The little wolves are said to have been so hungry that they even sucked on the man's fingers.
He carefully carried it in a bag to the she-wolf.
There the she-wolf is said to have been so happy about her cubs that she started howling.

Because she was still trapped, the man brought her food for days - for example, the remains of a dead deer.
She is said to have even wagged her tail a few times as a thank you.

Editor's note:
This text has already appeared in the past.
Many readers were particularly interested in it.
That's why we're offering it again.
The desperate man let out loud “wolf cries” in his distress.
Just when he was at the end of his strength, the she-wolf he had helped four years ago appeared.
She growled and bared her teeth.
So she quickly chased the bear away.
The man escaped unscathed and never entered the forest again.
But one thing stayed with him forever: there are things in nature that people cannot understand.
