Look at what my neighbors friend has! Meet Meo!

[geepy]

I for one think Meo is beautiful. My Mom had a wolf and he was the most loyal dog till the day he passed (from old age). When my nephew was an infant and was in the wind up swing and it stopped he started crying the wolf looked at him and started looking for an adult to help him. It was the most amazing thing to see. I have also had pits my whole life and if raised in a loving home they are by far the most loyal dogs ever.

I thought dogs also decended from foxes?.. no?

Dogs are decedents of wolves, not foxes.

Here's a picture of another full wolf, born in captivity. this male wolf is 11 months old. Compared to the pics of this "dog" on this thread I'd say they aren't that different in general build, weight, bone structure.

I just wanted to post what a handsome animal he is. Such a pretty face too.

Maybe the 2 wolves look different because they are evolving from captivity? maybe they are overweight because they cannot hunt for their food? I am sorry but I work in the outdoors and have seen countless wolves in my life and these 2 specimens do not look like their wild counterparts too short and blocky. Wolves are binge feeders eating occasionally and having food handed to-them daily has unintended consequences. Any one who has raised wolves will tell you that a wolf raised to adulthood in captivity will not be able to hunt as they have no hunting skills as taught by a pack. That is why they usually get hit on highways or shot because they are attracted to carrion.

You have probably hit the nail on the head with the feeding thing. I know for a fact that the pic I posted of the 11 month old wolf is a pure wolf, bred, and raised in captivity in and lives in a wolf sanctuary. Because nutritional requirements aren't something they have to really work for, they probably do look a bit different. I have also seen wild wolves outside, in broad daylight and at night so I do understand why you think they are "healthier" looking than they should look at their given ages. Idk, I am not trying to argue but some postings say that this dog (wolf?) that we are really talking about couldn't possibly be all wolf....

are you absolutly posative it was indeed a wolf? soooo many people find "breeders" on the internet claimng to have wloves or wolf hybirds only t sell huskeys,malamutes wolfish looking dog mixes people bring them home and are soo excited and amazed to find out they wolves are these amazingly easygoing pets so when it dies they go out and get another wolf only to get the real deal and find out it aint such an easygoing wonderful pet.

wolves are difficult and need alot of work they are smart and have instincts that are not safe to have around the general public simply becuase they can be nervous and dominant those people having that wolf out in the yard on a a cable is a lawsuit WAITING to happen should a small child go into that yard and get bitten that wolf WILL be taken away in an instant and either put to sleep or taken to a sanctuary. should that wold chew thru or break free of the cable which is very likly. heres a scenario a toddlar riding his trike in his yard a hundred feet away crying,luahging making noises sets off that natural predatory instinct the wolf sees prey slips its ehad from the collar which is very easily done and attacks the toddler killing it.
the people who own that wolf are NOT responsable they should have at the very least a chainlink fence with cemented floor and a chainlink roof. it will not be long before someone is seriously injured or worse killed.

i misunderstood and assumed about the situation, and am standing corrected. i miss the howling at night also, but the pack around here has seemed to disappear.

it just looks compact, even compared to the stature of the other showed pic, were the wolf is hunched and turned, though other is timber, and this one looks grey wolf (there is a differance to those who dont know), so maybe im just so used to the timber wolves. hope he gets it a friend, especially if its going to be by itself for long work periods, or he wouldve waited to get tit till settled and set up, but happy to hear he will be doing that later at least. ps i hear alot of worry and speculation about wolves and coyote killing livestock, but wild wolves and coyote have walked among my animals and never harmed any, just hunt bugs and rodents they kick up, though have killed stray cats and dogs that shouldnt be loose and nusances anyway.
