He came across the creature after spotting a sign on a house in Tuscon, Arizona, offering the animal free-of-charge and decided to take him home.

...

As his owner was a full-time college student and had a full-time job, Neo spent extended periods of time in the backyard - from which he would often dig under or jump over the fence to play with the dogs next-door.

'He built a higher fence to help contain him, but Neo chewed through it and continued to escape,' Cate Salansky of Wolf Connection told the animal website.

Despite being initially welcoming and allowing the wild animal into their house, the neighbors became increasingly suspicious of Neo's behavior.

Eventually, they decided to take him to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona who told them that the creature was not a normal dog.

Neo not only looked like a wolf but also demonstrated the behavior of the non-domesticated animal...

The organisation's former CEO Maureen O'Nell said she told them: 'You know that isn't a dog, right?'

The couple told her that they had been 'wondering'.

I’m sure there are exceptions to every rule, and you can find responsible hybrid/pure wolf owners, however I’ll say even with breeding German Shepherds I get a lot of ahem...boobs...that contact me. They want a large dog that looks intimidating but don’t know beans about the breed or what it takes to own them. I imagine that with hybrids it is even more like that.

No doubt about that, and I would venture to say that 70% or more of dog owners do not know how to properly raise dogs of any breed.

I have some of the books written by the monks of New Skete, and wonder what dog people think of their training methods:

Just from reading that page you directed me to makes me believe their teaching methods are probably accurate.

Horors!! MIttens is a PIT BULL, one of the most vicious of all dogs!!! You shouldn’t even depict one. It’s worse than chewing a pop tart into the shape of a gun.

I can’t say I know what their training methods are, I have heard of them but never looked into how they breed/train their dogs.

When I was in HS, we had a cat whose dad was a bobcat. Beautiful cat, we named him Smoky for his gray coat. His paws were huge, about twice the size of a regular cat. He loved to crash with me, some nights I would roll on top of him, other nights he'd be lying on top of me.

In the spring, he'd toy with the local mockingbirds for a couple of days, letting them dive bomb him. When he tired of that, one swat with his paw ended that game. Bird feathers could be found throughout the yard.

He was also a great rodent hunter.
