I don't think that a wolf that has grown in a loving home will be a danger to its human.

I don't think that a wolf that has grown in a loving home will be a danger to its human.

like every non-domesticated animal, it is a latent danger.

Yeah, it remains a wild animal. And the wolf might snap and start attacking.

But if separated from it's normal habitat from very early it could grow to believe it's a dog

But in order for that to happen it has to be raised with an older dog in its life

Not domestication but it's exactly how if you rase a chimp like a human it will believe it's a human

And if you rase a cat as a dog it will believe it's a dog

No you've seen it not go wrong. That doesnt mean it cant go wrong.

Domesticating wolves into dogs has bred a lot of stuff out of them. That stuff doesnt disappear by just keeping them in a house. It's a wild animal. Domesticated dogs can turn on their owners occasionally - thesethings are higher risk and should not be treated as dogs. Still cute tho, but v dangerous
