    If you mean 3 out of 4 facts: “Individual weights can vary from 32 kilograms (71 lb) to 60 kilograms (130 lb).” Which is well within the range of a large dog.

    “A wolf that has left its pack may travel up to 500 km (310.7 mi) to breed.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_Alaskan_wolf

        Dude, the article I linked literally mentions solitary wolves walking more than 500 km in search of a mate. Sure they “usually” move in packs, but that is what makes this story unusual, not impossible.

        “Massive” is relative. To a child a 30 kg dog is massive.

        They are not bigger than big dogs, they aren’t always in packs, and they’re skittish yeah but not usually that aggressive. This story could well be fake but it’s perfectly plausible.
