For just the facts:






For the facts presented in documentary's and nonfiction books about people living with and observing the wolf's behavior:




A Fiction book, but based on the journey of real wolves and includes all the facts in a highly entertaining way:

"The Philosopher and the Wolf: Lessons from the Wild on Love, Death, and Happiness" by Mark Rowlands (Apr 7, 2009). Superb account of his nine years with a wolf he acquired as a cub, when he was a young Philosophy Professor in the USA.Great anecdotes and some serious reflections on human-wolf-dog connections. Some of his professional philosophical works also focus on animal rights and human responsibilities to animals.
Also, IN DEFENCE OF DOGS by John Bradshaw, (2012) has some serious discussion of the nature of wolves by an animal behviour specialist. This is another important and well researched book.
Strangely I was hand feeding a wild fox in the grounds of hotel in North Devon in the Summer, and was struck by it tameness and dog like behaviour. It acted a lot like the stray and feral dogs of Thailand.
Good luck with the research.
