That’s the everyday reality for Andrey Musienko, who shares his home with Akela, a Black Canadian Wolf. But rather than treat him like a potential predator, Andrey treats him like a regular beloved pet.
Gentle giant
While Black Canadian Wolves are known for their wild and dangerous nature, Andrey shows a softer side to these intriguing animals through captivating images shared on his YouTube and Instagram.
Once a tiny, sweet puppy, Akela has grown to the size of a pony under Andrey’s care, yet his behaviour remains remarkably gentle.
Although considered a dangerous predator in regions like Canada, Northern Europe, and Siberia, Akela transforms into a giant cuddly toy around his human friend. The wolf carefully approaches Andrey, playfully nibbling on him before lying down for a cosy cuddle.
Playful pup
Akela’s playful demeanour is evident as he tries to engage Andrey in wolf-like games, yet he never becomes overly rough. Andrey effortlessly manages the giant wolf with a single hand, showcasing their unique friendship.
Andrey has established a foundation to raise funds for a spacious enclosure to provide Akela with a more suitable living environment. The aim is to create a space where Akela can thrive in a manner befitting his wild origins while continuing to enjoy the companionship of his human friend.
