Recently, Layla, a female maned wolf at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, gave birth toa beautiful female pup - only to pass away very shortly after. Confronted with the challenge of raising the pup in an appropriate social group, the Zoo turned to the local humane society and adopted a puppy. During the delicate early days of life, Amora, the wolf pup, and Slinky, the dog have been introduced and found companionship with each other.
The solution is a temporary one - Amora will be moved to a facility where she can be with other maned wolves. Slinky, in turn, will be rewarded for her service to an endangered species (and for just being a very good girl overall) by being adopted by a zoo staffer and finding a forever home.
