Brenin / 布列宁
Brenin / 布列宁 is the wolf companion in [[ThePhilosopherAndTheWolf|《哲学家与狼》 / The Philosopher and the Wolf]], discussed by [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] in 39.哲学家与狼：在朗格多克永恒的夏天. The episode says the Chinese translation “布朗尼” misses the force of the name, which it reads as closer to “Brenin” and associated with kingship.
Brenin matters in the wiki less as a pet biography than as philosophical evidence. His mechanical curiosity, wariness, rough play, refusal to bully weaker beings, classroom presence, loyalty, illness, euthanasia, burial, and final [[Languedoc|朗格多克]] summer let the episode compare wolf, dog, and human ways of living.
