Amazing film, I think everybody should watch it.
TL  R - you aren't raising a wild wolf.

It is true that Wolves do not generally make good pets. They ARE NOT dogs and do not do the same things although they do have some common traits. YOU CAN however have a wolf as a pet if YOU are willing to make large concessions to accommodate the beast. Better not to try it....though. I do have a friend at the sanctuary who raised three wolf pups in her house whose mom was killed when they were just a few weeks old. She basically turned her life to raising them. They are beautiful wolves. Extremely friendly to people (most people). They adore the woman that raised them.
BUT they are still not dogs and NO, Chuck Norris' cool ass wolf dog only exists in Hollywood. The real thing eats your sofa, and will probably kill your cat.....etc. Depending....might have a go at you as well.
We do have some beautiful Wolf-dogs at the Sanctuary that are adoptable and will make someone an incredible pet.....if the conditions are right.
