This is a picture of the girl with an actual full blooded timber wolf. Deacon is taking puppy obedience lessons at a local pet store. The dog trainer did his thesis on wolves and lived in Alaska while he worked for a reintroduction program. Evidently, this wolf's parents were not able to be reintroduced into the wild, so he was able to keep them (he has a special wild life license). The trainer has this wolf only because he was born with a heart murmur, so he was unable to be reintroduced to the wild like his parents.
He is a beautiful, very sweet and well behaved wolf. He is 7 and is trained like you would a dog. I can't pronounce his name, but it means guardian in the Intuit language. Deacon had a lot of fun playing with him. The girl petted him to her heart's content and now wants an additional dog that is part wolf. Since the neighbor behind us has a part wolf dog, I told her she can pet Nala the next time she is out walking.
