One of my most memorable wildlife encounters was with a pack of Painted Wolves (Wild dog) in the Selinda concession in northern Botswana. Finding the den proved to be a lucky break and timing it to the dogs returning from a successful kill as the alpha female had nine pups. Many paintings and sketches have been inspired from that time.
I have never forgotten a wildlife documentary about these critically endangered canines which followed the remarkable story of a young pup's journey to adulthood, where against all the odds he became leader of his own pack. His name was 'Newky'.
