These wolf puns will help you feel better about wolves—even the Big Bad one.

Poor wolves. They tend to be the villains of every story, from the Big Bad Wolf who tried to eat Little Red Riding Hood to the one who chased after the Three Little Pigs and destroyed two of their homes. (Don’t feel too bad for those Little Piggies—we’ve also got pig puns.)

But wolves can be funny, just like all animals can. (Don’t believe us? Just check out these fish puns and duck jokes.) And wolf puns can be just as amusing as, say, bear puns. (Somehow storybook bears are lovable—even though, in the wild, they’re just as dangerous as wolves.)
