Just an observation, but dogs and woofs ARE different. Woofs are much smarter!
I own what they euphemistically call a "98%" wolf-hybrid. This is a pet wolf that you claim has a dash of dog in it, which makes it "sort of" legal.
This is the best dog I've ever had, incredibly smart, very friendly - everything you'd want in a dog, almost.
When she was younger she had a tendency to take off every chance she'd get and then show up in 12 or 24 hours tired out and reeking from rolling in dead fish or whatever (she doesn't do that any more).
The weird thing was, to get away, she learned how to manipulate various mechanical devices. We actually spied on her to learn how she did this. She could manipulate the spring clip on her run line as quickly as you or I could with her paws.
Later when we fenced the yard, she learned how to open the gate which had a little bar you had to push to one side and then lift - she figured that out within an hour or two.
Another time I had put several hundred pounds of caribou in a shed back there. She got in somehow and helped herself to 25 pounds or so of meat. I thought I'd maybe left the door open so I made sure it was closed and then the following day kept a close eye on her and eventually caught her with her mouth around the knob trying to twist it.
She's older and mellower now and obeys me 100% (unless food is involved).
They're amazing animals, my hat is off to anyone who gets a wolf in a fair-chase manner.
