Wildlife filmmakers Buck Wilde and Esther Gossweiler return to update Alaqua Animal Refuge Founder and "Difference Makers" Host Laurie Hood about the first documentary ever made about rarely seen Alaskan Sea Wolves, "Dark Wild Howling." The duo shares how Esther patiently gained the trust of an alpha male wolf she named Mosquito, who eventually introduced her to his pups. The film sheds light on the 20,000-year-old question of how wolves became domesticated. Esther is a civilian "Difference Maker" having turned her photography hobby and love of travel into helping people understand and protect wolves. Their film is expected to be completed by the fall of 2023, pending additional funding and donations.

When doctors told Temple Grandin’s mother she had little choice but to institutionalize her severely autistic daughter, her Mom ignored the experts. The pivotal move helped Temple find her way to become an unlikely hero to America's cattle industry and a true American icon. In Part Three of our four part interview, Temple sits down with Laurie and talks about her path to understanding the vital role of visual thinkers and the beauty of bringing together different types of minds.

In the 1970s, Temple Grandin, an autistic female working in an entirely male dominated world of livestock handling, single handedly improved the cattle industry with her brilliant mind, thinking, and perseverance. In fact today, major corporations will not use vendors who do not meet her standards, and half the cattle in the country are raised in facilities that she’s designed. Part Two of Laurie's recent four part interview with Temple is both intriguing and eye-opening.
