Title: Wolf in a Sheepskin puppet
Description: 1982 Wolf in a Sheepskin puppet. Sewn in Haiti. Dakin. From an unknown source, Nov., '11.

This wolf stands over 12" high. His sheepskin pulls partly over his head and is fastened around his neck. I am happily surprised that a major puppet manufacturer would take on an Aesopic story figure. It almost certainly comes from the phrase "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," probably used by many unaware of the story behind the phrase. With his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth, this creature tends to be cuddly rather than wolfish.
