TAMPA (WFLA) - A photo of a giant wolf rescued by a sanctuary in Naples is going viral on social media.

"Yuki" was dropped off at a kill shelter at 8 months old, that's when the sanctuary stepped in to provide a home for the big guy and he has been with the shelter since 2008.

Yuki is one of the highest content wolfdogs at the sanctuary where he is currently staying.

“His DNA testing came back as 87.5 percent Gray Wolf, 8.6 percent Siberian Husky, and 3.9 percent German Shepherd.”

The photo has attracted a lot of much-needed attention, helping to raise awareness for "Yuki." He is terminally ill with blood cancer and is not up for adoption. He will live out the rest of his days at Shy Wolf.

And 1/1024th Native American.

No doubt his ancestors ate enough Indians to make that true. As for this big boy, I've seen him over at Twitter where he's very popular. Hope he has a long and happy life...without incident.

The smartest and greatest dog I have ever been privileged to have in my life was a German Shepard. Best dog breed EVER.

Sounds like the family was a bit promiscuous.

Bumped into two huskies on a job. They sure can stare you down.

They were wondering one of three things:

-Can I eat it?
-Will it eat me?
-What was I doing just now?

I’d adopt him in a heartshake. I’ve had 3 wolves over the years and one was pure breed. Best loving family animals you could have. Quite docile and loving. ‘

Never ever try to harm a kid in their presence though. Once I was working in my garden when Nicki took off and jumped the front fence. Something she had never done before. Some stranger was trying to drag a little neighbor girl into his van. She ripped him up big time. Nicki was rewarded with a T bone for supper.

He looks sweet.

Yes, right before he grabs you by the throat and rips your jugular out.

He is a WILD animal. IF he is hungry, he will kill you and eat you if he could.

This morning I stumbled onto a TV court show where a black transsexual was “suing” his/her husband for cheating on him/her. He/her kept trying to say promiscuous, pronouncing it permmisquenis. I had to watch the whole episode.

This puts me in mind of the American Alsatian, a GSD hybrid that's substantially larger than a regular GSD (males at least 90 lbs but can go 120) but it has a temperament like a shepherd on doggie downers. AFAIK there's only a couple of breeders right now and they make it abundantly clear these are not working animals.

Makes more sense to me than an animal of unknown pedigree that's 80% wolf.

I got “Smokey” when he was about 3 months old...I still had about 3 months time left in the service, so I took him to my mom and dad...

When I got out, the first day back home, my mom asked if I wanted a grilled cheese...I said sure...Well, I got a grilled cheese and Smokey got a grilled cheese...

When I finished my mom gave Smokey a dish of ice cream...I didn’t even get offered any....

I knew right then how I was going to rank in their house...LOL
