That's so cool!

 

I'd love to do that.  After all, if it weren't for wolves, we wouldn't have our beloved pups😊

There is a place in Sandpoint Idaho called Wolfe People. It's a place that has wolves and a visiting center open to the public. Some of the wolves have been used in movies and commercials. It's an interesting place to visit if your in the area

@Parischic    We also have a wolf sanctuary somewhere in Southern New Mexico, Wild Spirit Sanctuary.  It looks like many states have them.

When I was little knew an old man that had a pet wolf until the wolf decided they weren't friends any more and did some damage to the old guy.  I would see them going on walks. 

 

People are really naieve about animals.

seeing the wolf leashed up makes me really sad.

If that wolf has to take a little walk on a leash to help people see the plight of his species,  he doesn't mind. But I understand what you're saying and why it's sad.

One of the joys of my life was getting to know and love an 85% wolf hybrid.  He was magnificent and yes, I walked him on a lead a couple of times when he got out of his enclosure and I escorted him back while my husband repaired the fencing.  He would just strole beside me.  He didn't look or really act like a dog and getting to hear him howl was a magical (literally religious) experience.  I would walk a wolf, I sure would!   

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Living with Wolves is a documentary about Jaime and Jim Dutcher and how they did live with wolves in the wild. I will never forget it.

 

My oldest daughter's

favorite teacher in elementary school brought his" dogs" to school on the last day.

I think his students knew but i didn't learn til later that they were wolves and the real White Fang was their relative.

They were magnificent to see and just looked regal. Thinking they were some kind of large Alaskan or Siberian huskies at the time, I did think they were huge seeming to cover half the hallway at school.

I have a picture of a wolf in snow over my bed.

 

I can't imagine being able to be close enough to walk with them. that must be a magical spiritual experience.

@Kachina624     I was at Garden of the Gods in Colorado about 2 years ago.  I absolutely need to go back there and walk my wolf!  Thanks for posting this @Kachina624
