Rottweiler Adopts Wolf Cub


Ulrok, an 18 month old rottweiler has adopted his young pal, an eight week old wolf, Beldaran, since she was rejected by her parents at only a few days old.

Ulrok has been playing the protective father role for Beldaran for the last two months since she was rejected only days after she was born.

They sleep together, frolic in the sun and even howl at the moon in unison - and their unlikely union brings a smile to the face of everyone who sees them.

Beldaran, who weighs just five pounds, was adopted by the Rottweiler when she was just four days old at the Kisma Preserve in Mt Desert, Maine, USA, after she was rejected by her parents.

Since then the unlikely pair have been inseparable in everything they do.

Ulrok - a rescue dog whose previous owners imported him from Europe and gave him up when they couldn't cope - and his new love eat, drink, play and sleep together.

Ulrok and Beldaran spend all of their time together at the reserve where they are cared for at the centre's sanctuary. The organisation takes in creatures of all breeds and all sizes.

Heather Grierson is the director at the Kisama Preserve in Maine, America, where the pair are living. Ms Grierson stated:

‘It’s a true love story that has touched the hearts of everyone who visits. You just can’t be in a bad mood when these two are around.’

‘Ulrok stepped up. It worked out brilliantly. He would clean her and, when she was making whimpering noises he would bound over to investigate.’
