I took Charlie to the Dog Park yesterday morning after dropping Rachel off at school. i took her to the “safer” dog park because I was worried about aggressive dogs at the other one.

When we were there a dog that looked a lot lke a wolf arrived. When I asked the dog’s owner about the “dog” he confirmed that he was 100% wolf–six months old. When the “dog” started trying to sniff Hannah (who I was holding) the owner laughed and told his “dog” to stay away from kids. He loves kids, he explained, but he can get too excited. He then showed me this HUGE series of gashes (with fresh stiches) across his forearm and lightheartedly explained that the wolf had nipped a little too hard during a romp on the beach. “He just gets a little carried away sometimes.”

Needless to say, we were out of there.
