Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show A Real Story About A Man Helping A Mother Wolf Shot With An Arrow -- AI Generated AI Generated

Does a video show the real story of a man who helped a mother wolf get veterinary help after she was shot with an arrow, and who cared for her wolf puppies while she recovered? No, that's not true: This video is AI-generated. It originated from a TikTok channel which has published over ten different AI-generated videos featuring a man helping a family of white wolves. The TikTok creator has labeled the video as AI-generated.

The video (archived here) was originally published on TikTok by @pawsomedog128 on Nov. 22, 2025. It was captioned:

The video has a disclaimer stating:

Creator labeled as AI-generated

The video also contains several glitches typical in AI-generated material. The man has a tattoo on his head which changes from scene to scene. The wolf puppies also appear to be different ages in different scenes as if aging in reverse. The arrow is protruding from the wolf's left side as she is found on the porch, but sticks out from her right side in the car on the way to the vet.

The thumbnails (pictured below) visible on the home page of @pawsomedog128 show many fictional videos featuring this same family of white wolves, and several including arrow injuries. Some of the videos have millions of views and some have been shared on other social media platforms without the disclaimer.
