Thanks, Inci. Fascinating article. It all makes more sense to me knowing
that her "pets" were wolf-dog hybrids and that "Ms. Piovesan treated her
wolves like children, and said as much when neighbors asked about them."
I spent an afternoon with a researcher who has many wolves here in NM and
studies wolf family relationships. She spoke about the absolute need to
understand pack dynamics, alpha animals, etc. before working w/ wolves.
Thanks for telling us about your wonderful working dogs. I raised my dog on
a raw diet also; she was a large dog & lived to be 14. It's great to know
that you and your animals are on species appropriate diets.
Let me know off list if you plan to visit NM again; I'd love to meet you.
