In a bittersweet blend of science and yarn, wolf expert Carter Niemeyer takes us back to 1996 on a heart-pounding, eyewitness adventure to add ten more wolves – the Sawtooth pups – to Yellowstone National Park's newly reintroduced wolf packs. So much could go wrong. So much did go wrong. But in the end, the other ten wolves helped change the character of Yellowstone's wolves forever.
