For us, nature and animals were important.
c.
In episode seven, you know, the wolf is usually bad.
,
which is show somebody who was raised by wolves,
who has no respect for humans, um,
lf cast good role
of helping leading him to his heart.
MAN: Action.
LAUREN HENRY: Come on, you're gonna go to your mark.
Good boy. On your mark.
Good. Good. Good.
This is Brit and he is a British Columbian Timber Wolf.
He lives on 20 acres, surrounded by national forest.
Spends lots of time playing in the pond at home.
Spends lots of time in the house as well.
Has a lot of dog friends that he plays with.
And, his life is pretty much either hanging out in the yard,
o
ob.
He wants to be off the place and right here in the middle of a set.
In a minute, you will notice... Actually, if I pull him off his mark
and we just stand around for a minute, he will fall asleep at my feet
with all of the stuff going on.
Very unusual for a wolf.
It's been eye-opening.
It's the first time I've ever worked with a wolf.
And I suppose, there's a real process with it.
With how you're meant to build a relationship.
And it's just a lot of very basic things,
where he will come and stand with me, and I'm not allowed to touch him,
and his trainer will have this little clicky thing
and he'll click it and give him a treat,
and then she'll tell me to put my hand out.
Not to pet him, but for me to put my hand out,
and then he has to come looking for the stroke.
We do that a few times
an
But that just starts from just his shoulder.
And then we'll do that a few times, then he's used to it,
and then I'm allowed to touch him on his head and his ears.
It's quite important that we make it look like he actually,
you know, likes me.
HOROWITZ: There's obviously safety issues and concerns and all that.
But, you know, they...
They have a mind of their own.
We just had a scene with the deer and the deer wouldn't cooperate,
and there's not much you can do.
You have to just either wait it out, or move on.
DORNAN: We've been pretty lucky with Brit.
But, you know, like any other animal, he gets moody
and there's times where he's hungry, and he's tired, and he's bored,
and we've been shooting it for too long, and he doesn't want to stay on his mark
and do the things he's supposed to do.
And why should he? I mean, we often don't want to do that,
so why should a wild animal?
Graham! Graham, be careful.

We had a wolf in the pilot.
And now we've got a wolf in episode seven.
KITSIS: I think it's kind of, actually a part of, you know, fairy tales.
Whether it's Red Riding Hood or anything,
I just think they're an iconic part of storytelling.
And they look cool.
Yeah.
Ready, sit. Good. Down. Good. On your side. On your side.
Cover your eyes.
Yes. We need to go head off to set.
All right, Brit.
