A beautiful summer’s day. The owners of toy spaniels are chatting in the park, their dogs—in winter coats—shivering in their arms.

COIFFURED LADY: Yes, we were there the week. Well, it’s very nearly the Arctic Circle. Oh yes, it was magnificent. The real deal!

HUSBAND: Red in tooth and claw!

COIFFURED LADY: Oh, I can’t tell you! You know, these were real wolves, a real pack, and you’re seeing them living out there in the wilds…

HUSBAND: Hunting, killing…

ANORAK LADY: Ooh, it sounds grand doesn’t it, Michael?

MICHAEL: Aye.

COIFFURED LADY: Oh it was. And of course observing the wolves’ behaviour teaches you so much about your own dog.
