I get the link with wolves it seems pretty par for the course with the more righteous Nordic and Slavic (and other Indo-European deities in general) gods but when you think about it snakes and other reptiles (more associated with Veles from my understanding) bask in the sun to survive while wolves are often thought of as more nocturnal and associated with the moon. Something interesting to note is that snakes are linked with neighboring Baltic (Lithuanian in particular) tribe's sun goddess.
