The wolf is VonHammer's "pet" or Von Hammer is he wolf's pet. Depends on who you ask. The wolf picks VonHammer in a Karl Jung sort of way,telling him that they are the same...hunters.The wolf turns up again and again as if telling him something at the right time (it even warns VonHammer about the Crisis on Infinite Earths). This is the first time the wolf has directly save his life tho'. Hanged man comes back again.
