Wolf Abandoned by Its Mother Grows Up with a Human Family and Acts Like a Dog

People choose a wide variety of pets to welcome into their homes—some prefer traditional companions like cats and dogs, while others opt for birds, reptiles, or even exotic animals. But Kira’s story is truly unique—because Kira is a wolf.

   

A New Beginning

When Kira was just three days old, she was abandoned by her mother. Without a family to care for her, she had little chance of survival. That’s when Alida stepped in. Determined to give Kira a second chance at life, Alida took the tiny wolf pup in and raised her as part of her family.

A Challenging Journey

Domesticating a wolf is no easy task. Unlike dogs, wolves are born and bred for the wild, making it incredibly challenging to train and socialize them. Alida had to be patient, cautious, and fully committed to Kira’s upbringing, ensuring that she adapted to human life in a safe and controlled manner.

Kira required constant companionship, attention, and guidance. But thanks to Alida’s dedication and persistence, Kira slowly transformed. Over time, she became calm, well-behaved, and safe to be around—much like a domesticated dog.

A Life Among Humans

At this point, Kira could never survive in the wild. Having never learned to hunt, she would struggle to fend for herself. Her survival depended entirely on Alida, who had been feeding and caring for her from the very beginning.

When Kira was just 28 days old, Alida officially decided to raise her. She quickly noticed that Kira was highly intelligent but also quite stubborn. To help her adjust, Alida worked hard to socialize her—introducing her to a variety of people, children, and even other dogs.

A Wolf with a Dog’s Heart

Thanks to Alida’s love and dedication, Kira has grown into a friendly, well-adjusted companion. Though she may still have the heart of a wild animal, she lives a happy, domesticated life with her human family.

Kira’s journey is a heartwarming reminder that love, patience, and commitment can overcome even the toughest challenges. While she may have been born a wolf, she now lives a life filled with love, safety, and the companionship of the people who never gave up on her.
