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