Dude is a dog that does not look like he would be called Dude. Not too many generations removed from his wolf ancestry, the menacing-looking canine looks like he could have come straight from “White Fang.”
But he doesn’t act that way.
I moved down the street from Dude a few years ago, and as I was unpacking boxes, my mother said, “There is a wolf in your front yard.” That was the last thing I expected in my new civilized neighborhood, but I grabbed my dogs’ collars and peered out the window at a thick-necked, shaggy-haired mammal that was lurching around the rhododendron.
