At one stage I had two wolfhound crosses. They're big - paws on 5 bar gate, no problem.
Just after we got one of them, they were out with me whilst I was doing some job or other. Two yoofs with rather limited adjectival vocabularies went past, didn't see me and one said to the other "Have you seen that.....dog they've got?"
Response: "That's not a dog, its a f......wolf."
I genuinely believe they think I have two wolves. It makes for a quiet life in the cold callers department, anyway. Usually.
