There's a wolf running amok in Brooklyn! Or, there was a wolf running amok in Brooklyn until quite recently, when someone collared it and brought it to the Animal Care and Control center. S/he looks a little freaked out, and understandably so. Here's what we know so far:
@amysacksnyc tweeted the picture this afternoon, noting "Wolf in a choke collar found last eve by Elton St. Brooklyn @NYCACC shelter waiting 4 help." She added that it was found last night roaming the streets with the collar, which could imply that it was someone's escaped pet.
The AC&CC isn't returning our calls about the little guy or girl, but they do have a history of releasing wild animals back to their natural habitats, so here's to hoping this wolf makes it back to where it belongs.
And if the AC&CC doesn't resolve the issue in a timely manner, we'll subject them to a nonstop feed of the world's catchiest Brooklyn wolf anthem until they do:

So sick of ugly humans who buy animals as accessories to their pathetic ugly lives. ADOPT don't SHOP. stop funding puppy mills and breeders. shame on you people.
Very unlikely to be a full wolf. Most likely a wolf hybrid. There are a slew of breeders who cross wolves with domesticated nordic dog breeds. They have an unpredictable temperment. Why the hell anyone would want one as a pet is beyond me. I have a Samoyed and tell people he's an albino wolf.
The ACC is idiotic if they release this wolf dog back into the wild.

Yup, Hybrid, lean in the middle and fur is not thick and rough enough for full blood wolf. Definitely got the wolf head though! Beautiful animal, damn shame he/she is CACC
