Otherwise it just looks like a still and the emotional impact is lessened. To me it's like the old Western movies where there are dead people and you have something like a windmill creaking and spinning, and some dead guy's hat blows off, and then a tumbleweed blows by. You have to have movement in the scene or it just falls flat. Other than that: A big ol' fluffy wolf is out of place in a town because civilization keeps them away. So to me it symbolizes a breakdown in society if anything.

Right up until the end, I too thought the wolf was just a compositional or fanciful element. But I think the wolf call that immediately preceded the appearance of the Shadow Regiment on in the tree line is foreshadowing something thematic.
Looks like we'll have a while to muse either way.
