the very beginning

A gray wolf with green eyes stares directly at the camera, its head slightly tilting, set against a dark, blurred natural background. The scene cuts to a close-up of a wolf's face with bright yellow eyes, then to a light-colored dog with a black collar looking upward in a snowy environment. The sequence returns to the gray wolf, now with snowflakes on its nose, maintaining eye contact with the camera in a snowy, forested setting.
