Whoah how fucking big are wolves!
I’ve read that in the US lots of people nowdays have them as pets and that a lot of those end up getting put down because people just want a cool big dog and end up with a wild animal.

There's a guy with a few wolf dogs who frequents a dog park near me. They're great and beautiful animals, but according to him you have to dilute the wolf in them for multiple generations before they become safe to keep as pets. I guess training a wolf is technically possible but wolves and half-wolves just aren't domesticated animals and they can and will react unpredictably no matter how "well behaved" they seem on the surface - and that's with a professional working with them, now imagine the average dog owner!

Yeah, even part wolves can be very dicey. People really underestimate how much work tens of thousands of years of domestication are doing
