A father and son find themselves in a very traditional relationship. Until the end. (21 minutes)
Rick McIntyre told this story in his book The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone's Underdog. He's now published four books about the wolves of Yellowstone. The second book in the series is all about 21’s life. It’s called The Reign of Wolf 21: The Saga of Yellowstone's Legendary Druid Pack.

..." A Memory of Wolf 8
I remember seeing Wolf 8 as a pup. Driving slowly through the Lamar Valley and keeping an eye out for any moving “dots” out there, we suddenly spotted three black ones. Stopping to get out the scope, we noticed a gray one as well. The gray one was Wolf 8. They were moving in a line through the grass parallel to the road at about 300 yards out. That was too far to attempt photos with the equipment I had at the time. All we could see were their heads and backs rising into view and then disappearing again – almost looking like dolphins moving in a sea of grass. We went ahead of them and pulled out at the next roadside pullout and set up the scope again. This sighting was our first encounter with wolf pups, and we watched them cavort and play for a good half hour.
This book brought back so many memories, but this one was the strongest. The book is a relatively quick read – though I found myself not just gobbling it up. Instead, I slowed it down by reading a small amount each day to savor it more. I’m glad to have this book in hardback as a welcome addition to my naturalist’s library."...
