Miko arrived at Wolf Connection alongside her partner, Cloud, bringing with her a gentle spirit that would soon make her a beloved program animal. It became clear over time that she was destined for this role, as she effortlessly connected with visitors and participants alike.
One of Miko’s most endearing qualities was her ability to foster connection and teach the value of vulnerability. She often joined groups of students or guests, choosing to lie down with her belly exposed—a clear invitation for trust and openness. This simple gesture allowed her to convey profound lessons about the importance of vulnerability in building relationships, demonstrating that true strength lies in being open and receptive.
Miko possessed an uncanny ability to sense when individuals were in need of comfort or connection. She would gravitate toward those who seemed troubled or withdrawn, exuding a warmth and love that was impossible to resist. Her presence alone had a calming effect, providing solace to those who needed it most.
Through her work as a program animal, Miko not only brought joy and companionship to many but also served as a living example of empathy and understanding. Her journey at Wolf Connection is a testament to the powerful bonds that can form between animals and humans, and the healing that occurs when we allow ourselves to connect deeply with one another.
