    Hello everyone, its great to meet you all. I am currently 20 years old and I've majored in animal biology but mostly circling around wolves. A question I am asked quite often is why is my name what it is. I currently own and happily work at a private wolf sanctuary names Hunter's Hope. I hope you forgive me when I say I'd prefer to not disclose the location as it is private for a reason but will gladly take any questions on anything else so please feel free to ask them! I also have had a pet wolf for about 3 1/2 years now named Fang after my favorite old time movie White Fang (highly recommend watching it its great. Watch the 1990's one!) He is (to my knowledge) the largest wolf in existence and weights a little over 350 lbs. (97% of that weight is muscle) Apart from my major, I used to, and currently still do, spend my spare time to occasionally study new discoveries about wolves which I have been doing for a little over 9 years now ever since I was 10 1/2. Below or somewhere in this text box is a picture I have inserted of what Fang looks like for those interested(similar appearance not actually him). I hope to meet and become friends with all of you here and look forward to playing some killer flood with all of you! see you on the water! ~Wolf

    Hi man, welcome to Devinity. Animal biology is a pretty cool degree, especially when there's a focus on wolves :p

    Do you take Fang for the everyday walk in the park and how do you get his food? Kill two birds with one stone by taking a walk down with him to the local chicken farm?

    Well, Fang eats one king's strip ( highest quality cut from a cow) twice every day morning and evening but if none are available from either my local butchery or grocery store I just get him a large cut instead. Not as high quality but still plenty of nutrition for him. I would be lying if I said he wasn't a little spoiled. Every time I got out to lunch I have to take him with me. If I didn't he'd just break out of a window like he had done before and would come looking for me. And when I do go out to lunch I get him a little something as a treat to say I love you. I know you guys and girls are thinking, "well isn't that stuff bad for him?" And you'd be right to think so but I always take precautions and ask them to take out everything that would hurt him. So for example if I'm heading to Wendy's which is a fast food restaurant I order my meal and then a plain chicken sandwich with nothing but the chicken and bread. And for your question on walking, yes and no. I take Fang hiking in the woods very often to keep him acclimated to nature and for those who would accuse me of keeping him trapped here your wrong. My home has handles on our doors and not knobs. Fang knows how to open doors and let's him self out side when ever he wants. He could leave and never comeback any time he desired but he stays with me by choice. I don't own a cage for him and don't own a leash either. I won't tolerate Fang being treated like a mere house pet and do my best to enforce that. So yes he walks with me on his own on hiking trips.

    Another story that I figured would be important for everyone to know is how I became interested in what I do and how long have I been doing it. This is quite the story and I'll cut out unnecessary detail where I can to keep it short. Please ask if I said anything that needs clarifying as I can be somewhat sloppy in detail at times. Ever since I was 10 1/2 I became facinated with wolves and their lives in the wild. I find them gorgeous and facinating animals and it has always been a dream of mine to work with them personally someday. I actually didn't work at a sanctuary until Fang came into my life. This story makes me somewhat said every time I think of it but Fang was not adopted or kept as a pup, I personally rescued him from certain death. I was driving my grandfathers truck out of his private neighborhood surrounded by a dense forest when I found him laying by the road. When I approached I noticed he was starving and severely injured. (sadly if I had arrived approximately 15 minutes later he would have probably died by then.) I quickly made a decision to save him. I took him back to my grand parents house and cared for him the following four days and then let him go. After an hour of him leaving I walked outside for a walk and saw him sitting near the front door through the glass. I carefully approached him and could tell instantly by his friendly behavior he wasn't back for food but was interested in me. After I spent time with him I decided to adopt him as a life long partner and not a pet. He and I have been together ever since and Fang is what pushed me to begin working at a wolf sanctuary. Unfortunately Fang is extremely protective and territorial over both my person and my belongings. He is very aggressive with people who get to close to me or him but other than that he pretty much doesn't even acknowledge your existence.

    I looked it up, and that is the largest wolf EVER. Probably a large wolf to start with, and a nice food supply

    Yea he still baffles me at his size. But luckily he's completely obedient. He's never gotten aggressive with me which I can be thankful for. He loves me to death so I should be safe lol.

    That's real cool man, can't say I know anyone who has a real wolf as a pet. The closest I've had would be a Siberian Husky. Very smart though so I can see how he is so obedient.

    That moment when you walk into Dunkin' Doughnuts and everyone stops and stares at you as if you've no clothes on... :/

    Thanks Fang, cause I totally need you making a public scene, good job bud...

    happened to me earlier thought i might share it with everyone interested.

    P.S. I have additional stories if anyone is interested although they are long and might be boring to some.

    Is that picture you linked the actual picture of your pet or just a photo of a wolf similar to him?

    The picture I'm using is actually similar but not exactly his appearance. This is a completely different wolf and I usually just say its him to avoid going into detail about him. Only people whom I am comfortable socializing with have a vague idea of his real appearance. This picture is an American Grey wolf dog and is NOT Fang. The following photo was capture by A photographer I do not know the name of at the Gray Wolf Conservation Center for those curious.

    I have added additional text to the above post beginning this thread as I noticed I was unclear in my wording

    -- merged b/c of double post
