Only a few meters away sits Barbro with her video camera when Tromb, one of the wolves in the overhang, come up to Mikael to say hello.

 Tromb (Tronb in swedisk is Tornado in English) has his name because he is often lick the faces of people who come to visit. The video was shot at close range and you see the whole process when the Tornado going over Mikael's face.

Wolves are very clean, more cleanly in the mouth than both humans and dogs. The licking wolf is the alpha male of the pack -- Tromb. He is greeting Mikael welcome. There is always a person working with the wolves with the group. He or she has the highest rank in the pack and as his/her guests humans can be accepted.

Mikael has a physical condition called cerebral palsy that makes his body shake and he moves in a "special way"(Source)


Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary between people. Often problems include: poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, trouble swallowing or speaking, and tremors among others. There may also be problems with sensation, vision, and hearing. Often babies with cerebral palsy do not roll over, sit, crawl, or walk as early as other children their age.
