Here is a link to a story about the red wolf. In the seventies the red wolf nearly went extinct and were brought into captivity in an attempt to save the species. When they were felt to have been somewhat stabilized they were rereleased into the wild. However, while in the captivity they had forgotten how to howl and communicate which is essential to the social structure of the pack. The tale is told of a wolf named Mumon who goes on a journey to rediscover the howl. In his journey he is advised by a deer and raven who gave him subtle clues as to how he could fulfill his journey. He is eventually triggered to run through the wilderness and encounters a farmer with a gun and Mumon's spirit enters into the gun. Mumon then seems to enter a mystical realm where there are natives playing drums to the neat of the wolf's heart and surrounding a fire. Mumon enters the fire and as he does lets out his howl. He then comes to the realization of being surrounded by his pack and the connection is made that Mumon has become his howl.
