When he first met them I was scared but they became big babies and friends
to me and my lab. The one really big male wolf (150 lbs plus) wasn't really a "pat
pat" type of dog but if he liked you he would just come up and lean on you
and that was it.

Funny, as big as those animals were they were under the command of a woman
who couldn't have been 100 lbs soaking wet. Back in the day when I drove by
their house on the way to the park to walk my lab and if they were out or even
in the house they would catch a smell of my dog and set up howls of we want to
go play. My 90 pound lab was dwarfed by the wolves but one of their favorite
things was to just sleep together in a big pile ... one time I went to get my dog
out of the wolf pile and they growled @ me so I just let him stay with his buddies
for another few hours and picked him up later.

What kind of screwed up person would go and kill a wolf for fun?

It was a good show riverbendviewgal Dec 2018 #1
