I believe this depicts Francis with "Brother Wolf" of the village Gubbio. The wolf, according to the legend, was terrorizing the village, and the people asked Francis to interceded. Frincis talked to the wolf, and "made a deal with him": If you no longer bother the people of the community, they will feed and take care of you," so Brother Wolf decided to no longer bother, but indeed become their BROTHER and protect the people of the village. In return, they fed and took care of the wolf to the MUTUAL BENEFIT of both.--Fr. Juan
