Who or what was Cree?
Shortly after our move to the Finland site and taking the new name Wolf Ridge, a friend of ours from Ely, Gene Haraysem, offered to give us a Wolf/Dog hybrid he had raised from a pup. The name Wolf Ridge came before Cree took up residence at Wolf Ridge. In February of 1989 Cree arrived at Wolf Ridge. He subsequently became a wonderfully successful ambassador of wolf education, teaching tens of thousands of children about wolves. Cree died of cancer in 1995. Prior to his arrival at Wolf Ridge, Cree was also used in lobbying efforts at the State Capital in efforts to get the International Wolf Center up and running.
