Man Lives With The World’s Largest Wolf And Treats Him Like A Puppy

Man Lives With The World’s Largest Wolf And Treats Him Like A Puppy

We’ve all heard of big dogs and likely seen some real big ones, but very rarely does one ever see a wolf behaving just like a dog.

Such is the case with the Canadian wolf, Akela and his owner, Andrey, a pair of inseparable buds who act like this is part of the norm.

Personally, I’d be a bit intimidated by such a large animal, but it’s clear that Akela is just a big ol’ pupper at heart.

The Playful Duo

In the video Andrey posted on his Youtube channel, we can see just how endearing Akela’s behavior is.

First he poses for the camera with Andrey, then starts being a bit playful with him, nuzzling his face into Andrey and nipping at the hood of his hoodie.

He even goes as far as clambering on top of Andrey and resting atop him, all the while still trying to get at his hoodie and ears.

To most of us, that’d induce a heart attack, but Akela’s owner knows that he’s just being playful and that he wouldn’t intentionally hurt him.

He does eventually manage to get the hoodie down, so it was a triumph for him.

Akela continues being playful throughout the video, clearly just wanting to get back to playing and not being interested in making a video one bit, just wanting quality time with Andrey.

Part Of the Pack, Part Of The Crew

To some, the biting would be seen as scary as well as some of the borderline aggressive behavior that Akela may be exhibiting, but it only seems that way due to his size.

Most other dogs do similar, if not the exact same behavior when they’re play-fighting with their canine friends.

It’s also reminiscent of the way that wolves do it with other pack members, just a form of entertainment for them, and to Akela, Andrey is part of his pack.

He also knows that Andrey can handle it, given how easily he can manage his advances with just one hand.

A Wolf Well Kept

His positive and playful behavior is telling of the way Andrey lovingly takes care of him.

He even provided him with a massive cage to have enough room to move around in without feeling too cramped up.

On top of all that, we can see just how well kept his fur is, so he’s clearly living it up in luxury and has found his forever home.

How this relationship continues, we don’t know, but we’re certainly eager to follow it for any further updates.

A dog blocked the ambulance’s path and wouldn’t move… The medics were stunned by what they saw

19 September 2025 lemon news 0

That day, the ambulance was returning from a call. Tired but focused, the medical team was rushing back — it had been a hectic day with call after call. Suddenly, the vehicle came to a sharp stop — there was a dog sitting in the middle of the road. It stared directly at the ambulance. No honking, no flashing lights could make it move. It was as if the dog was trying to tell the humans something. The paramedic, thinking the animal might be injured or lost, got out of the vehicle. But the dog simply stepped calmly to the side — without fleeing or showing fear. — Something’s not right here, — the driver muttered.— Let’s follow it, — the nurse suggested. As if it heard them, the dog slowly started walking toward the bushes, constantly looking back to make sure they were following. Suddenly, the paramedic froze in place. — Over here! Quick! — he shouted. In the grass, beneath the bushes, lay an elderly man. Unconscious, with bluish lips and a weak pulse. He was alone, and if not for the dog — no one would have found him there. The medics sprang into action: oxygen, stretcher, injections… The man was rushed to the hospital. And the dog? It ran behind the ambulance the entire way. Exhausted, but never falling behind. At the emergency room, no one chased the dog away. It was fed, petted, and someone brought it water. Everyone was amazed by its loyalty. A day later, the man was transferred from intensive care to a regular ward. Then all the staff — from janitors to junior nurses — started begging the head doctor: “Please, let the dog see its owner… it did so much for him.” And the doctor relented. When the dog was brought into the room, silence fell. The man lifted his head with effort… and started to cry. The dog whined softly, crawled to the bed, and pressed itself close. From then on, things began to improve. Every day, the patient waited for his friend by the window. He talked to him and promised to take him on walks as soon as he got out.
