  • #6 - Romeo: The Cool Friendly Wolf (w/ Special Guest Nick Jans)

    This story made us smile, laugh, and cry. Romeo was a black wolf that showed up in Juneau, Alaska in December of 2003. Romeo wasn't just any wolf; he was friendly, caring, social, and different. The man that documented the whole story joins us to tell it in his own eloquent words. Nick Jans is  the author of the award-winning, best-selling book: A Wolf Called Romeo. He is also a lifelong nature photographer and a wilderness preservation advocate. We dive into his life, his goals, and his feelings on Romeo and what he meant to the community. We highly recommend you read his book A Wolf Called Romeo which you can find on Amazon, or your local bookstore. The whole story is truly unbelievable and unlike anything we ever read. More information about his book, as well as prints of his photographs can be found on his website http://www.nickjans.com - Stay in touch with us! [email protected] -
