Good read Bob, thanks
No, they're not by any means. They got their fearsome reputation for a reason. They're very intelligent predators, cunning, logical and ruthless when they want to be.Wolves are not always Disneyland animals.

Language is fascinating. With respect to wolves being demonized, I recently finished the book Rabid, by Murphy and Wasik, which shed some light on rabies and why the wolf was so feared by ancients, and why at various periods in history wolves (and other canines) were singled out for extermination.

Dogs will do what dogs will do. Not a breed on earth that doesn't have the ability to inflict harm if the animal desires to do so.
same with cats.

In many dogs you can still see the wolf line in them. Take huskies for example on that.A short interesting story of wolves throughout the ages and possibly why they got a bad rap or at least the one they did?
I had two Huskies, who both have long since passed. The sight of them deters a lot of folks due to their "wolf look". They were great with around the grandkids.
I heard it stated that if you want a guard dog, don't get a Husky, because they'll just take the burglars through the house showing them the things not to forget to take.
Most definitely! A buddy of mine had two Huskies. They were total sweethearts. Willful as hell, but friendly too a fault.I had two Huskies, who both have long since passed. The sight of them deters a lot of folks due to their "wolf look". They were great with around the grandkids.

Every Husky book out there says don’t get Huskies. Huskies never know a stranger. However if you want a babysitter Huskies are the way to go.I had two Huskies, who both have long since passed.

My sister used to have/train huskies. Some of the coolest, smartest dogs I've ever seen.
Come to think of it, they might have been Alaskan Malamutes. I'll have to ask her next time I see her.
Yep. And like Hayes said, a good reason to go armed. Humans, without some type of weapon (preferably a firearm!), are pretty vulnerable. Even a rabid racoon or skunk could easily do you harm.
