In the middle of a silent, snow-covered forest, a tiny Arctic wolf pup was struggling for its life.
Its little paw had become tightly tangled in a hidden net left behind by careless people.
The more it pulled, the tighter the net wrapped — and the pup cried out in fear.
Not far away, the mother wolf ran anxiously in circles.
She tried biting the net… digging through the snow… pulling her baby free…
but nothing worked.
She needed help.
And she made a brave choice.
As an old man walked through the snowy path, he suddenly stopped — a wolf stood before him.
She wasn’t growling.
She wasn’t attacking.
She simply looked at him with desperate eyes.
Then she turned, walked a few steps, and looked back…
a silent plea: “Come with me.”
The man followed her through the cold wind until he found the trapped pup.
Its tiny heart raced.
Its paws were freezing.
Time was running out.
The man knelt down and gently cut the net with his pocket knife.
Piece by piece, he freed the little wolf from the trap.
As soon as the last knot was removed, the pup jumped into its mother’s embrace.
The mother wolf looked back at the man — and nodded her head softly…
a powerful thank you from the wild.
Then, together, they disappeared back into the snowy forest —
safe, free, and forever grateful.
Sometimes the bravest thing a mother can do…
is ask for help.
