I had the idea two or three weeks ago. I thought it was funny and really didn't intend to put this much effort into it. (I was supposed to just make a handful of b/w sketches and call it a day.) As with most things I start, it got away from me. When I was finally assembling the pieces in Animate, I thought it was really dumb and was going to regret posting it. But I had unintentionally cut the animation short (It was supposed to go on for like 15 seconds) and the "realization" and sudden cut to black actually made me laugh. So I posted it.

Edit: Didn't realize I had cropped the wolf animations so poorly. Fixed them.
