In European folklore the wren is a heroic figure who brings fire to the world. All the birds hold a council, and the wren volunteers. But, in the process of flying close to the sun, its feathers are scorched, giving it its brown color and short tail feathers.

Every year on November 23, #Wolfenoot celebrates both the spirit of the wolf and kindness. It’s also a day that encourages people to be kind to animals, especially dogs as they are descendants of the wolf. A modern holiday. 🐺🐕
