The Internet is a remarkable place. It gives us access to information, people, places, things and knowledge that was previously available only in books at great cost or through personal experience, again usually at great cost. I started a blog site called Timberwolf’s Howl as a free wordpress blog. On that site I posted an article which I reproduced here called Save the Timberwolf.
This article attracted the attention of a person who I now count among my friendship circle.He is an amazing fellow who is part native American Indian and has a timber wolf as a companion. The name of that companion is Makoda, which means Full Moon. Makoda is now 2 years old as brother Lonewolf found him abandoned on Christmas Eve 2006. When Lonewolf found Makoda he was only a few hours old and was alone in the woods and snow. Brother Lonewolf explained that wolf Parents (both the mother and father) would never abandon their cubs through choice and that apparently, something or someone, had killed Makoda’s parents.
Brother Lonewolf then adopted the young cub and raised him as a companion for himself. Makoda is solid black with the gold eyes and when he stands next to Brother Lonewolf, who is between 6 ft and 6 ft 1, Makoda is even with his waist. Lonewolf describes Makoda as looking like an Over-Sized Black Bear Cub.
One thing he has said is that Makoda is not only a blessing to nature, he is also a blessing to him. Makoda has brought Lonewolf many valuable lessons as the wolf is a teacher of mankind.
Save the Timberwolf
This is just another reason why we should help to preserve and protect the timber wolf.
The Wolf Howl Animal Preserve is a place where you may find more information about wolves.

Hello, to my Brother TIMBERWOLF!
MAKODA & I just read “His Personal Article”…. Makoda wanted to write and say “Thank-You” for wanting to Share His Story! He wants you to know, you did an Amazing Job, in writing it. And yes, ( Lol ) I am 6’1 & HE is Definitely that “Over-Sized” BLACK BEAR CUB, who has a Heart Of Gold, but who also believes that he is the same size as a Yorkie Terrier! He refuse’s to understand that he is 150 pounds!
Both of us want you to know, Brother, You, yourself, are soooooo AWESOME, IN MANY MORE WAYS THAN JUST ONE! There’s not enough words to describe the place you & your family have in both our Hearts!
MAKODA wants you to know from the bottom of his heart, He thank’s you, for everything you are doing as well as trying to do, in EDUCATING OTHER “HUMANS” about “HIS OWN KIND”! HE is also very much HONORED for being on your page with his story. I also want to thank you as well.
If there is anything that either one of us can ever do, to help out in any way, or answer any “WOLF – QUESTIONS” ….. PLEASE, DO NOT EVER HESITATE IN ASKING! We are also in the process of working on that “request” for you. I do appologize, for having to take a few days to work on it, due to Crazy Work Schedules, but we will get it to you, as soon as we can!
Wishing you and your family many safe and wonderful Blessings!
MAKODA sends everyone Extra Special “WOLF – HOWLS, HUGS, & KISSES”, with his own personal WOLF BLESSINGS!
Looking forward to talking with you soon.
NAMASTE, MY BROTHER!!!
Namaste Brother Lonewolf
Thank you for the wonderful comment. I am glad that both you and Makoda like the article. I am looking into adopting a wolf cub at the Wolf Howl Animal Preserve. See Nita (Choctaw for ‘Bear’) by clicking on her name.
Thanks again for your wonderful support Brother.

“Hello Timber wolf, I want you to know I love that wolf, my God he is beautiful, wolves are very good companions, I had one, that came out of the woods, a while back, I was surprised to see she would come near me, I fed her, and took good care of her until she was stolen. I am doing a paper for my biology class on wolves, or Timber wolves, if you would like to share some information, that would be great, and of course your website will be cited on the paper. Makoda, is beautiful, my wolf I called her sheba. Very protective, and her eyes would turn red, I hope to have another one, one day.
i love animals so please help these animals there very grate
The picture of Makoda has an amazing resemblence to a black wolf one of my distant cousins raised. I didn’t even know she owned one and found out she used to raise wolves quite a few years back. The three she owned have now passed on and are buried under her spirit tree.
Hi Kenneth
Each wolf is a distinct animal and has a personality all of it own. Perhaps this wolf was somehow related to the one raised by your cousin.
