Cassie was guarding her family's sheep herd on their ranch in eastern Montana when she sensed a disturbance at the edge of the flock. Gathering her rifle, Cassie waded through the frightened sheep until she came upon an old wolf. The animal appeared to be starving and also had a crippled leg.
The merciful thing to do would be to put the wolf down, but Cassie didn't have the heart to do it. Instead, she went and got her lunch and slowly fed it to the emaciated animal.
Cassie sat on a rock and watched the old wolf gobble down her ham sandwich, cookies, and banana bread. "I wish I had more to give you bud, but that's all I brought," she said to the wolf. The animal seemed to understand and limped back into the dark woods. "Merry Christmas Mr. Wolf," Cassie said into the night.
