Just 3 panels (well 4 if you count the previous page) and I'm already in love with this new wolf.
Definitely seems like they have a ton of pent up social energy --bison probably don't releive that energy nearly as effectively as fellow wolves do-- and all of it is being dumped right onto poor Gristle, who has probably never had any significant social interaction outside his own small family.
Gristle is the person who's never been in a town big enough for two stoplights, and he's just been dumped into the middle of downtown Manhattan on new years eve.
