Kate's father even tells Humphrey when he's a pup that this is his responsibility and holds him in high reguard for being good at it.

** Possibly a case of [[Did Do the Research]] as this troper recalls reading a documented study of one wolf pack where it first appeared to researchers that the omega was "bullied" into his position, but it became apparent that the male omega wolf purposefully distracted and engaged others in play to diffuse tense situations; when he grew too old, this "responsibility" was passed to a younger female wolf.
