Just watched this dvd:
The Grey (2012) R
After narrowly surviving a deadly plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness, a band of oil riggers must fend for their lives in the ice and snow. But thanks to wolves that view their presence as a threat, they aren’t alone.
Genre:
Action & Adventure, Action Thrillers, Adventures
This movie is:
Dark, Gritty
I hated that movie.
One of my favorite pets was a wolf hybrid. But I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone. They can be a little bit spooky.
I guess the love of wolves depends on which side of the fence you are on. If you have a herd of cattle..not bueno. If you can enjoy them from a distance with no threat to your livelyhood..they are beautiful.

According to my uncle, wolves are less deadly than wolf hybrids...and also according to the other old geezers in his neck-of-the-woods.
according to wikipedia, canis lupus and canis domesticus are considered now the same species by biologists. yes, the teacup chihuahua and the wolf are blood brothers.
Yeah, but then we’re told there’s only 2% difference between us and Chimps.
They sure make soft pelts.
My aunt who lives in northern Ontario has one on her bed. Used to lay on it when I was a kid.
Libtards hate Sarah Palin for allowing their control with hunting from small planes...that’s the only way their population can be controlled in the outreaches of Alaska.
whats this monkey business?
I have this weird fascination with wolves and have never seen one.
I have wolf bookmarks,calendars,playing cards,and a lovely painting of a wolf I bought at an art show.
I forgot to add...he showed me a picture of the old dog that saved his life. It looked like a yellow lab except it had a larger head and a black muzzle and a slightly curvier tail. His name was Butch and my uncle says “he was no bird dog but that dog could read my mind even though he didn’t even know me.”.
I accidentally rescued a 7/8 hybrid... most incredible dog ever. Best huntress ever, too. As it turned out. Or rather, as a sheriff’s deputy brought to my attention.
Wolf-dogs have to be entirely fenced in, no two ways about it.
Aroooooooooooooooooooooooo
Anyway, my story...I was out walking at night a couple of winters ago, not in the woods but next to them. I heard this sort of yapping sound, and I later compared what I had heard to some videos online and it sounded just like coyote/wolf sounds. Suddenly I heard a drawn out howl, very loud, and the yapping noises got more excited...And closer. Well, I was with my brother and he started to take off running, but like a good scout (ha) I held him back and we continued at rather a fast walk. Remember, we were walking along a treeline (we moved away from it a bit after this started) and the excited yapping from the woods stayed abreast with us as we walked. Eventually (not fast enough), it began to fade, and we heard a chorus of mournful howls (call of the wild anyone?) that continued till we got out of earshot.
Creepy, to say the least.
Where I used to live, we had big trouble with coyotes. They were overpopulating. Men shot them (SSS). But one of the men was an Indian and he took blood and spread it next to the wood line where the coyotes trailed into the neighborhood. He did that as a warning to them. Maybe that is why that guy hung the dead wolf-dog out front of his house?
Wolves curious about you?
If there are going to be any new Wolf-Dog hybrids, they should be a mix of Wolf and Golden Retriever. I want any Wolf-Dogs around me to always be happy when they see me or any other human, wag their tales and be play like puppies—even when they grow old. I love Goldens.
PS - I know that Wolf-Golden Hybrids would NOT be friendly like Goldens and would also be dangerous. But a guy can dream, right?
