What a very special moment: the Full House trio of Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber, and Jodie Sweetin pose with an actual wolf at Smoky Mountain Fan Fest, and memories start flooding back for the fans. The trio posed in an almost rustic environment, marrying any little element of nostalgia from the sitcom with the wilderness theme of the event. The reunion truly speaks about the continued existence that the cast of the show maintains long after the show first aired.

Dave Coulier indeed continues to be the one and only Uncle Joey from the iconic full-house 90s show. So very Hollywood Uncle Joey, Coulier has dropped a picture worth a thousand words. It shows Coulier comfortably seated between his former co-stars Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin. Known from their days together in Full House, Barber played Kimmy Gibbler and Sweetin was Stephanie Tanner. It is probably the very big real wolf standing front and center before them that truly steals the show.
The rustic ambience looks like something that might have been pulled out of a medieval tavern, bathed in engaging wooden tones. Andrea is rocked with a T-shirt emblazoned with “Property of Stephanie Tanner” – perfect but funny little show jab. Jodie on the other hand wears denim and channels the she-wolf Coulier refers to in his caption, with Dave all smiles, as though chilling out with a wolf is perfectly normal.
The photo session was held at the Smoky Mountain Fan Fest, a huge-celebrity-and-fan gathering all the way out there in Tennessee. It is very much clear that the foursome were there to have some fun and possibly mingle with their fans. The wolf-who was admittedly probably one of the attractions at the event-gave this wild reunion a somewhat unexpected twist.
The fans inundated the comment section with heaps of love and nostalgic vibes. One fan said, “Love this ❤️. Ya-gak-gak-gak, wowzers or however you said it. True full house fan. Still watch reruns at age 43 lol.” The classic Coulier catchphrase, which basically came with a start to the show, still resonates after all these years.
But the wolf was one of the reasons why some comments ran with it. “That’s a real wolf you guys weren’t afraid of it biting you guys???” another concerned follower inquired. Ladies and gentlemen, a wolf should never be considered a pet, a paragon of the traits separating wild animals from domesticated companions.
The style is not unnoticed. “Very cute picture. I was totally checking out your shoes to see if they were slide ons 😂 I do love that they perfectly match your shirt and I love Jodie’s outfit.” Because sometimes it’s the small details that catch people’s attention.
There were many warm welcomes from locals, like “Welcome to beautiful East Tennessee ❤️,” and others were eager to meet them at the event. The internationalness was evident, though, from one comment in Portuguese translated as “Three is too much (full house) is forever!❤️” and another in Spanish writing, “Right now I’m watching the series again I never get tired I like it I love it 🥰🤗.”
The most hilarious had to be the gamer interpretation, who interpreted the photo with a Legend of Zelda spin: “This reminds me of Wolf Link in Breath of the Wild. I’m now imagining all four of you as playable characters in that game.” Now that is a crossover we definitely want to see.

Going through all the comments and reactions, one thing’s clear: Full House still holds special meaning for people. The cast’s generosity toward the fans at an event like this and sharing these moments keeps the spirit of the show alive, even after all these years. The wolf might be playing the role a little differently in this photo, but the real magic is getting to see these familiar faces once again.
