wow! Is it even legal to keep a wild animal like that as a pet? I would feel the same way you do--menaced.

@FuzzyFace@I didn’t ask the man too many questions as I had a concern that should his wolf get the feeling I was not welcome,that man could not hold him back.I don’t know if it is legal or not but I am visiting in a small community in Canada so maybe it’s ok here.
