does anyone remember about the one set in India about a boy who befriends a rogue elephant?
another one about a boy who befriends a wolf set in either Alaska or Andartic
The second one is probably "Tymancha's Friend". It's set in Siberia, so I can see how you would think it's Alaska. There is another film filmed against a snowy background, "The Lone Wolf", but that one had a boy befriending a German Shepherd, not a wolf.
