When you stop petting

My dog starts to smack me with its paw if I stop prematurely. Don't think it'd be as funny if it was a massive wolf.

When I had my huskies if I stopped petting one that seemed to be the sign that another could get petted. And heavens to Betsy I have two hands which meant three dogs must be petted! Somehow anyways…

It's not funny when it's a dog, either.

APiousCultist t1_jdwey12 wrote

Alpha males do not apply to natural wolf hierarchies, let alone domesticated dogs. If you're out there trying to 'dominate' your pet at every time, expect weird behaviour from your confused, unhappy animal that expects to be intimidated every time it tries to engage in social play behaviour. The fuck. These are animals selectively bred for thousands of years to interact well with human owners anyway.

It's weird to refer to your dog as it.

APiousCultist t1_jdtn71n wrote

"It" meant "the situation of being hit by an animal for not petting it", not my dog.

ActuallyWorthless t1_jdtnqx5 wrote

"Its paw"

And don't get me wrong, I'd say it if it were a dog whose gender I didn't know. Just thought it was odd, that's all.

I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to an animal as "it". I call humans "it" too sometimes because I hate them.

ActuallyWorthless t1_jdu6g2n wrote

Yeah I mean it's fine. With my dog I'd say "her paw" rather than "its paw." Apparently I'm the only one. Semantics really.

Eecka t1_jduqh5k wrote

I think technically speaking 'it' is always grammatically correct, but 'he'/'she' is also okay to use especially for a pet.

Personally I tend to use he/she as well (when I happen to discuss my dog in English, which isn't too common as a non-native speaker)

Is this a perspective issue, or is a wolf really big enough to fit an entire human head in it's mouth?

That thing looks huge.

Get that science mumbo jumbo out of here. Is the wolf really that large?

Pandarandrist t1_jdt7aat wrote

Yes. Seeing them in person I was blown away. This maybe makes them look slightly larger than they are. But they are...they are not dogs. They are big.

My Great Dane is that big. He's a dog.

Pandarandrist t1_jdu5y5r wrote

Your great dane is a dog, but he doesn't look like a wolf. I think when people see wolves, they imagine them to be the size of the dogs that kind of look like them.

Caelinus t1_jduq0sf wrote

This is of course referring to a specific type of grey wolf, for people who are interested. The vast majority of wolves around the world are nowhere near this big. However, Grey/Timber wolves from NA are waaaaaay bigger than you would expect. We have a sanctuary for them where I live, and it is super lucky they are not terribly aggressive towards people.

One of them I saw was over 100lbs, (they are lighter for their size than dogs as they are narrower) and probably 6 feet long. It was a younger one, and was super happy to see us.

When going into the viewing potion of the sanctuary I noticed they had ~12 foot fences, and I swear that wolf was hitting 8-10 with every jump. Thew threw a whole elk in the pen, and a single wolf grabbed it and dragged it off on its own. They are freakishly strong and fast.

For whatever reason they are generally more curious about people than aggressive, as I said though, so all the wolves would hang out in the viewing area to people watch calmly whenever people showed up. The young ones wanted to play with the humans, but they are too strong and uncontrollable, so even if they did not intentionally hurt you they would still accidentally maul you.

Really interesting creatures.

Obviously they can crunch through bone, that's where the most valuable and tasty nutrition is located if you hunt large mammals.

Forced perspective is how a lot of big-dog photos are exaggerated.

This has very very little forced perspective at all. Wolves are really scary big.

I've seen a wolf dog hybrid up close. They're huge.

jimmifli t1_jdtyvua wrote

I saw a wolf sitting on a hill beside the hwy, it gave me vertigo because my brain expected it to be a dog, once we were close enough that he was dog sized, everything else looked too small, and then my brain struggled piecing together why the dog was so big.

cxp64 t1_jds1jfy wrote

They are huge. I saw a pic of a husky standing next to a wolf, and that really put it in perspective for me. I have a purebred husky, and she's big, but she'd only come up to the shoulder of a wolf standing side by side.

Friend I was visiting had a wolfhound and when I arrived his wife had him away from the house I was warned about the size of the thing but holy fuck when he got home.

focus503 t1_jdsj59g wrote

25 years ago after work I ate a handful of mushrooms a friend gave me in Scotland.

I'm walking home in this park, November, misty, lane lined with 200 year old oak trees, looking at Edinburgh castle up on the hill in the distance; all very much of a muchness.

I'm sort of half walking backwards looking at the castle, and the mist kind of parts and up lopes this, thing.

I had never seen a wolfhound before, and this thing is massive. Grey, wet, muzzle dripping from the mist and slobbering and running.

" So this is how it ends." I casually remark to myself in the second or two I'm watching this unfold. It goes running by and then his owner jogged up behind him a couple of seconds later.

It was gorgeous, and in the next couple of years I see them all the time in the neighborhood and I began this sort of lifelong desire to own one until I realize how short lived they actually are.

My wolfhound likes to rest his head on my shoulder when I drive and this wolf's head looks to be twice as big; I call shenanigans.

Shishire t1_jdsznbj wrote

Siberian Huskies, one of the dog breeds that lots of people compare to wolves, tend to weigh about 35-60 lbs, depending upon various factors.

Alaskan Malamutes, a similar breed with a distinct origin have a large range of sizes, but can span anywhere from 65 lbs on the low end to 130 lbs on the high end, with some truly exceptional individuals reaching 150 lbs. For the record, those 150 lbs dogs are some of the largest in the world, both due to height, weight, and fur mass.

Northwestern Wolves (the generally accepted largest subspecies) dwarf Malamutes, averaging 120 lbs and topping out at a whopping 175 lbs for the largest verified specimen on record.

TL;DR: Wolves are big, yo

https://i.imgur.com/zVbQXmK.jpg My guy is 100 lbs and according to the test my gf got he’s 75% Siberian husky 12.5% GSD and 12.5% malamute. I’m 5’11 and when he stands he’s almost face to face with me.

Shishire t1_jdujjo7 wrote

Can't speak to the quality of genetic testing, but he definitely looks like a good boy to us.

Err... What we meant to say is that he looks a good bit more Malamute than Husky to our (admittedly amateur) eyes.

mossheart t1_jdvtnrr wrote

The answer is it depends on the provider

CBC recently did a marketplace review, sending the same samples to multiple test companies, including a human DNA sample as a gotcha. Results are worth a read

Shishire t1_jdvzx42 wrote

That's... terrifying and hilarious at the same time. Two different companies actually gave results for the canine ancestry of a human DNA sample.

Wolves are huge.. There's some smaller races but yeah, they are mostly way bigger than an average dog.

xrumrunnrx t1_jdsyrra wrote

I think there is some perspective here but they can be very large. I'm only chiming in semi-repeating what others said because I had the chance to meet some wolves at a sanctuary up close. Petting a few and all that.

Like everyone else I was told they're mega big, but they aren't dire wolf level big like some make them out to be. Definitely imposing and intimidating, but they aren't so big to fit a whole head in their mouth like a German shepherd holding a softball.

I know this gets said a lot, but I really did search through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed this/had said what it was.

I don't know what it is, either. It's driving me insane. It looks like fingers but whose would they be??

NoHandBananaNo t1_jdstlrj wrote

Judging by the size they are from someone bigger than the guy in the photo.

And the bit where they meet his sleeve is quite a blurry, murky area of the image, esp compared to his hoodie zip.

Im starting to wonder if this pic itself is photoshopped.

The blue to the left is the shoulder of another guy in the car. Looks like his elbow is over the back of the seat or he is just holding it up to block the wolf from coming into the front of the car; with his hand supporting the wolf's head. you can see his thumb jutting out on the other side of the driver's arm as well.

It's not. The person you see isn't the dog's owner, I'm guessing the owner was with them.

I'm the owner. I was sitting next to him, holding back the wolf.

It’s a photoshop sub, how are more people not seeing this. Wolves are big but this photo looks doctored.

Lee_Troyer t1_jdt3n1q wrote

My interpretation : someone is sitting behind the driver, next to the wolf and has their hand on the wolf's collar to keep it from bothering the driver too much.

This photo looks like AI generated. You will see it if you follow these steps:

Focus on the guy's chin. Then on his neck. Then on the dog's tongue. Then on the seat fabric in the bottom left corner of the picture. If you follow these visual cues you will see this photo is AI generated

It's not. Curious to hear exactly how you came to the A.I. conclusion, why not Photoshop?

It's actually neither, just wondering why you'd assume A.I. first.
