Wise owners never forget that, no matter how sweet Fluffy is.
Much as I love dogs and admire the Hell out of wolves, I do not ever want to be in the presence of the latter on their ground.
I tell you even just playing with my own dog, a 19 month old female German Shepherd of about 62 lbs, I would not want to be on the receiving end of her anger at all, not that she’s angry.
I consider her right under a wolf in terms of her physical ability, speed, intelligence and desire to hunt. This dog, essentially a child still, could absolutely shred me if she wanted.
I cannot even imagine what a wolf could do...much less an alpha. Still I respect the Hell out of them, and I still like to admire them from afar where it’s safe.
I know exactly what you mean. We have a 120 lb male and a 75 lb female German Shepards and their strength is enormous as well, I am in awe of their reflex speed is scary. Trying to get the best of them with hand speed is useless.
Beautiful animals and loyal to the end to their “pack”.

nonsense...the reason that you make that ststement is that you only consider defending yourself against a 67 pound adversary. What if it were a 67 pound fourth grade boy.....or a 67 pound .....anything?? Always, when confronted with an animal, be on the offensive. I am 6' and weigh about 210 pounds.....your dog might inflict some painful wounds on me, but would soon meet his demise....It is the fear of the painful wounds that give the animan its' advantage....you don't want to get bit so you go into a defensive mode...WRONG...I caan tear the leg off of any animal that weighs 67 pounds...I can certainly inflict enough pain on it that it will reconsider coming back for more.....been there, done that......killed a very large dog that was attacking a child Suring Wisconsin, many years ago...I have NO FEAR (respect, yes) of any animal.
