A 79 year-old German man has been living with wolves for the past 40 years. The way they respect him and how they interact is unbelievable. This is Werner Freund.

Wolves are obviously a feared species.

He is basically a member of the pack. There is mutual respect.

The wolves are playful when he's around.

The only reason he is alive: He is the alpha. He's in charge.

This wolfpack sanctuary is located in Merzig, inhabited by wolves from six different packs around the world.

Freund actually has to take the first bite of a kill to show he is the pack master. Then, and only then, can the others eat.
