        Yeah, it was really a spaniel, and he didn’t ‘pat its back’ with his hand.

      A wolf is a massive animal, usually not white, usually in packs, and usually skittish or downright aggressive. It’s fake. But cool story.

        Alaskan Tundra wolves (wander down into Yukon sometimes) are white. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_tundra_wolf

        Even the Interior Alaskan(native to Yukon) wolf ranges in color from black and White. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_Alaskan_wolf

        It’s fake because it’s yukon. They don’t have internet in yukon. Or people… never mind a school.

      I have someone related to me that took in a stray Maine Coon cat that was actually a Bob cat and they didn’t find out until the first vet visit. I think it had to go to some zoo or like Sanctuary place because they had it for quite a while and were feeding it like regular wet cat food.

    Ha ha, “looks like he’s going to call HR for inappropriate contact”

    For the record, there has never been a documented attack of a healthy wolf on a person in North America. Obviously if they get rabies or distemper or something all bets are off.

      There’s also never been a documented case of a wolf contacting HR

        There would be NDAs involved, so take that data with a grain of salt.

      • Kanda@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s because HR will anonymise the contact data before publishing

        depends on how many furries are in your company

      • cypherpunks@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        that may be true but you should consider that HR departments are notorious for failing to document complaints from members of socially-disadvantaged groups

      Another element that could be at play here:

      He thought it was a dog.

      Dogs, because we domesticated them, have muscles around their eyes, that allow them to make eye/eyebrow expressions.

      Wolves do not have these. Because they’re the ones we did not domesticate for millenia.

      So, if he was expecting dog expressions… wolves literally cannot make the same facial expressions.

        It’s thought the species we domesticated was distinct from wolves of today. That species went extinct in the wild.

      There have been documented healthy wolf attacks in North America. en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_…

      Some on the list are rabid, but the list also includes both captive and predative wolf attacks, including fatalities.

      source
    • Talentlesssculptor@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You are wrong. Candice Berner, Kenton Carnegie and Marc Leblond were all deemed to have been killed by healthy wolves.

      There have been at least 24 non-fatal wolf attacks by healthy wolves since 2000 in north America alone: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_…

      Meanwhile cats just showed up, said that they live here now. 10,000 years later, cats run the internet and more or less still the same genetically for the past 10,000 years.

        They kill rats.

        Keep the granaries uninfested.

        And roughly half of them also carry a parasite that literally rewrites the brain DNA of humans.

    No, you made a wild wolf more dangerous as it has now received food after being near a human. That wolf will now approach more people to get food.

    Dog domestication took centuries to millenia. And the most dangerous predators are those that are descended from domestic or near domestic animals.

    source
    • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Both are true. Curious wolves approaching humans and getting/stealing food was very likely the first step in domestication.

      At the same time, it still holds true that it is dangerous

      source
      • Frozengyro@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yup, plus the friendlier ones were more likely to get fed, mean ones more likely to get killed, which resulted in more or less offspring like them. Do that for generations and voila, you’re now a French bulldog

    • LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yup, some people recommend actually scaring wild animals away and not attracting them, for exactly that reason. A wolf that has learned that hanging out with humans means food becomes a safety risk and is likely going to be shot one way or the other.

      The kid didn’t know, of course. But we should let wild animals be wild animals, and get our stone-age desire to pet wolves from some wolf sanctuary or something, where the wolves are used to humans anyway.

    Wolves can get rabies, that can be a factor for being more willing to socialize with people.
