This encounter was the first and it definitely wasn’t the last. The wolf quickly befriended Nick’s dog Dakotah and even started playing with it. This wasn’t a pet that had escaped or some hybrid wolf, it was a pure wild wolf that seemed to want a connection. He found the wolf and the odd thing was that the animal was relaxed and tolerant. Nick threw on his skis and went to investigate. A few days later he spotted the wolf on the ice. It all started one day when he spotted some tracks in the snow that looked to be of a wolf.

A Wolf Called Romeo is the remarkable story of a wolf who returned again and again to interact with the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring inter-species dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus.
Written with a deft hand and a searching heart, A Wolf Called Romeo is an unforgettable tale of a creature who defied nature and thus gave humans a chance to understand it a little more. For Nick it was about trying to understand Romeo, then it was about winning his trust, and ultimately it was about watching over him, for as long as he or anyone could.
But as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch with local dogs, or simply lie near author Nick Jans and nap under the sun, they came to accept Romeo, and he them. At first the people of Juneau were guarded, torn between caution and curiosity.
