    Conservatives often prefer pets that are capable of inflicting harm on others. It is extremely common in the south for people to brag their big, mean dog is “part wolf” the way a 3rd grader brags about how tough their dad is.

      Been living and traveling the entire south of the USA for the last 30 years. Never have I heard a southerner refer to their dog as a a wolf dog.

        Fair enough. The area where I am has an obsession with Huskies (despite it being hot as fuck here) and any mutt that looks like it could be “part wolf”. I have never believed a single person that has introduced their husky/mutt as “part wolf”, but I have met several from the 90’s to as recently as last year (my next door neighbor), unfortunately. It’s dumb, but it’s a thing with conservatives around here.
