FOREWORD

While looking through an antique family trunk that had been lost for sixty years, I found a photograph negative file belonging to United States Government Hunter Bud Dalrymple.

Mr. Dalrymple was a predatory animal inspector for the old Biographical Survey, (a branch of the U. S. Department of Agriculture) in Scenic, South Dakota, the heart of the Badlands.

During a hunting trip to the hills of Wyoming Bud found a three month old gray wolf pup and named him Bruno. The following story is about the travels and unique work of Bud Dalrymple, "The Gray Wolf of South Dakota", his wife and "Side-Partner" Nora, and their pet wolf, Bruno.
