Man if you ever get the chance to see a wolf irl take it! At first you think it’s a husky, but as it comes out of the woods into the clearing you can see it’s the size of it, the size of the jaw. Built for snapping tibias. A predator’s gaze falls upon you. And you realize it’s definitely not a dog. All those half remembered, ancient tales of wolves suddenly being made truth. Whom will be hunter, and who will be hunted. You crouch and grasp at the forest floor. A rock, a stick, anything. It turns to go and so do you, realizing too late it’s buddy was in the woods to your back. It stops, looks over it’s shoulder once more, and asks for about tree fiddy.
I know this is a joke meme and all, but I get a pang about the “I keep having to feed it Benadryl” part because, while funny, some people are like that with kids and pets and that makes me sad.
If you look up weave the coyote on YouTube you will find a man trying to slowly domesticate not only a coyote but also a raccoon.
I had a lovely although odd kitten until it turned out that she was actually a bobcat. Had to let her go.
I feel I should further specify that she was surrendered to wildlife rehabilitation not dumped. I believe these animals exhibit imprinting and may not be safely or directly releasable back into the wild. I only had her for three weeks and sadly her fate is unknown to me.
If not friend then why friend shaped?
