[quote=LoneWolf]Nope. Comes from my love of Wolves
The Native Americans believed that Wolves alone knew the path to the Spirit World, and that when you died, a wolf would guide your spirit to the Spirit World, hence they were known as Spirit Guides

They also saw them as the creature most alike to man. And sometimes refered to them as "Brother Wolf" or "Father Wolf", because they saw some wisdom or something.
