Wolves\u00a0have a reputation for being aggressive and fierce creatures, and many people, including me, would be\u00a0downright frightened to actually meet one face to face.<\/p>\n

The large grey wolf seen walking alongside Danielle in the beginning is named Kekoa, which in Hawaiian means \u201cbrave one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kekoa isn\u2019t quite like other wolves, and she certainly doesn\u2019t match the stereotype.<\/p>\n

While she still demands a certain respect, she also seems to have great respect for people \u2013 particularly a woman named Danielle.<\/p>\n

Kekoa lives the good life at the\u00a0Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, an animal sanctuary near Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

Like the sanctuary\u2019s other animals, she lives there because she is unable to survive in the wild.<\/p>\n

Danielle is a staff member who has developed an incredible friendship with the large wolf.<\/p>\n

When I first saw Kekoa and Danielle playing together, my jaw dropped. It\u2019s a magical and surreal sight, especially when you realize how big Kekoa is compared to Danielle.<\/p>\n

As brave and noble as he looks, he\u2019s also a big baby and I mean real big! He weighs in at 115 pounds and when he places his front paws up on a persons shoulders he comes in at about 7 feet tall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
