Wolf. He was a large ravenous wolf that was terrorizing the area of Gubbio when St Francis encountered him. The saint tamed the wolf and got him to agree to stop killing people and animals. In exchange the local people would agree to feed the wolf every day. Over time the people of Gubbio became fond of the wolf and saw him as an example of God's miracles. After the wolf died he was buried at the local church.
