This is dad, a grizzled male with huge responsibilities. In wild dog society, only the alpha pair breeds. All the other dogs share the burden of feeding the alpha female while she's nursing, and then of feeding both mom and the pups until the little ones can travel with the pack. When wild dogs make a kill, they devour the entire animal in a matter of seconds and then return to the den to regurgitate food.
