Big Salmon Lake twark

As Shiv struggled to get a footing, she glanced up and noticed the large brown paw hovering just over the surface of the ice. On wobbly legs, the little bird heeded the stranger's hopes, giving a happy squeak in thanks. What a friendly fellow! With a flutter and push off the slippery ground, she latched onto his toes, securing herself to her rescuer before quickly making her way partially up his leg. Although she wasn't too far from the lake's edge anyway, she was glad the wolf had offered to carry her the rest of the way — the ice had proven too much of a challenge so far for her spindly little legs.

Tilting her head up at the dark wolf, the magpie asked, "Wolf able to walk on ice?" Surely, with those large paws and sharp talons, they would have no trouble!
