Living With Wolves

	Matsi (MOT-zee) Blackfoot for “sweet and brave” Beta male
Matsi was the beta wolf, second in command. Betas are always subordinate to the alpha and dominate the mid-ranking and omega wolves. In addition, Matsi had a capacity for caring that is not necessarily an inherent beta trait. In the Sawtooth Pack, Matsi was the peacemaker and devoted babysitter who helped discipline and raise the pups. His distinguishing marks included a golden rather than gray mask.
