There are many theories about why wolves howl at the moon... to coordinate the pack, warn of danger, define territory, etc... Of all the possibilities, I like to think that sometimes... maybe it's just for fun:)

I'm also convinced our two retrievers are distant descendants of wolves. Sure, they have floppy ears and feather beds, and wouldn't last two minutes in Siberia or Antarctica, but sometimes they sure act like a wolf pack. There's the alpha male, and the little pup learning the ropes... they eat together, sleep together, play together, and bark together. Occasionally they'll even howl together:)
