My friend Debbi, who lives high in the Sierra mountains of California near Yosemite, posted the photos below of her Border Collie Skye and Wolf dog, Starr. Debbi is a wolf advocate and wants everyone to know that these often maligned creatures are playful at heart.
- Starr and Skye in their dog runs
- Starr (that’s her leash hanging on the pen).

- Starr stalks Skye
- Playful Attack!!
- Chase!!

- Skye does a sneak attack… Darn!! (See her tail?)
- Chase again!!

I’ll bet they’re happy they’ve got their thick fur.

Wolves are so intelligent and devoted to their family groups…. Nice for people to see them as playful also…. Michelle

Great shots of the dogs having fun in the snow. You were guessing what part of NC I live in. I live in Raleigh so pretty much in the middle of the state. I like being an easy drive to the mountains in one direction and an easy drive to the coast in the other direction.

Fascinating – I’m not sure about a grown wolf-dog though. Blessings from Dalamory. http://www.freda.org.uk

Debbi’s wolf and her old-dog let her leash them until they died at age 15.

Thank you for sharing these lovely photos Diane. When Gregg went on business trips up to Canada, he was invited home by one of his clients who had several dogs. Most ran over to him for a fuss but only one held back. He tried all night to make friends but this one dog wouldn’t have anything of him. It turned out that this dog was a wolf raised from a pup, abandoned and rescued. A great companion to his owner but very skittish around strangers. This man loved wolves as Debbi does and is also a great advocaat. I agree that they are much maligned, unjustly so in my opinion.
