When I had gotten him, people warned me against taking a hybrid wolf as a pet. I was told they make bad pets and can be very aggressive. I am thankful I never took their advice.



I had to fight very hard to keep him. You see, in Nebraska, hybrid wolves are illegal to own. They consider them to be a dangerous animal. I had my vet to fight the state board along with me. It took a lot of convincing but I finally managed them to allow me to keep him. They told me, they expect to see me within a year on a serious dog bite case. They could be no more wrong on that. This all happened nine years ago.



He was a very gentle dog. He was very good with children. He pretty much let them do anything to him. Though he would periodically look over at me as if saying do I have to.   He never once bit anyone. 



Some of the things I will miss the most about him, is how he would carry his stuff animals around like they were puppies. He would flea them and wash them. He would howl when he wanted attention. Followed me every where I went.



The day I had dreaded had come. I had to make the hardest and painful  decision I had ever made in my 29 years on this planet. It was time to put him to sleep. He started to have problems with his hips. It got to the point that his hind legs could no longer support him. 



I would give anything to spend just one more day with him.He was always there for me. We went through some very tough times together.



Kujo, I miss you so very much.It will take a very long time to fill this void in my heart. I look forward in seeing you again someday. Until then, sleep well my friend. I shall always cherish the short time we had together.



With much love, James.
