ANIMAL OF THE MONTH - Patch - Arctic Wolf
Patch was born as a zoo animal. After several generations of inbreeding he was born with a terrible lesion on his eye and needed an operation at 2 weeks old, too young for anesthesia. He was very brave. He had to wear a patch for a long time and take drops in his eye several times a day. We were afraid we’d have to remove his eye though he was blind, he healed well and still looks beautiful. He is a very sweet-tempered wolf who has adapted well to one-eyed vision, but because he’s at a disadvantage, he is very timid and submissive.
