Back in 1994 when I was 17, I worked for NORAD and was stationed at a radar station on the Beaufort Sea in north Yukon. It was an incredible experience to say the least. We had a wolfdog that lived outside all the time. She was amazing; pure white. Anytime I would have to go off onto the tundra or down to the sea, she would tag along, bringing me presents of arctic prairie dog or chasing muskox away. Another great vid, Luke. Wish I was with ya.
it was so incredible. you should do a tour across the DEW Line. Goes from Alaska to Newfoundland. A pretty important part of Canadian history that people don't know about.
Apparently my wife just wrote an article about how some of the employees at her company, LifeLabs, visited Yamnuska for the day to volunteer. Small friggin' world, eh?!
Late response but it's due to the fact that these aren't your standard wolves, they are bred with domestic dogs but they aren't recommended to keep as pets because they will inherit the wild instincts and size of a normal wolf. A lot of people don't know this before getting a wolf dog and then they end up realising they took on a dog that isn't like your typical dog and this is how they end up at these sanctuaries. If you put these animals in the wild they will most likely not survive because they might not have pack instincts and they have already been domesticated in some form or another. They also do not know how to hunt and might not have all the survival instincts that a wolf does.

Haha, that's funny! It is a small world!
Great video Luke, and really interesting stat on people killed by wolves!
Thanks bro!
Thanks, Luke. Great captures. Why are the animals there, however, instead of being free?
Good question Cathy! I believe it's because they would likely die on their own or be killed by other wolves.
