One night in 2003，Jans and his wife Sherrie were walking the dog Dakotah near their house. Suddenly, a young 1.C appeared and began running in their direction. Amazed and 2.B ，the couple immediately broke Dakotah loose to protect them. “However, the two animals stopped yards apart and 3.B stared at each other as if each were looking at an almostforgotten face and trying to remember something，”recalls Jans in his book A Wolf Called Romeo.
Over the next week, the Janses always 4.A the wolf playing with the dogs in the neighborhood. They 5.C that when the wolf saw a dog, he would make a fool of himself—wagging, pacing, and even striking some dog poses. Because of the wolf's 6.D ，Sherrie named him Romeo. The 7.A extended from dogs to locals quickly. 8.D ，crowds of locals started coming to 9.B the wolf, and some liked him so much that they seemed to forget that wolves are 10.A .
For the next five years, Romeo 11.C to the area in fall and winter. “He would be in the same place every morning to 12.D people going to work or walking their dogs, 13.B he'd set with a time clock，” writes Jans. As the only wolf in the area，Romeo had 14.D creatures to eat，a large open space to live in, and little 15.A from other animals. However, some critics felt Romeo was a(n) 16.C ，and there was a talk about driving him out of the area.
Romeo came again in September 2009，but later that month, he 17.D again. After some searching, a supporter found he had been 18.A by Park and Jeff. Both men were arrested later. They ended up paying fines according to the local law, losing hunting 19.B . In late November 2010，a memorial service was held for Romeo.
“Nothing can take away the years we spent in his 20.C ，”writes Jans. “We'll remember the happiness he brought to us forever.”
