A couple accidentally adopted a wolf-dog hybrid from a kennels, thinking it was simply a "big dog". It was only when they went to their vet for a check-up that they realised.
A woman has now described to Tumblr how her parents took the animal home from a kennels before realising what it really was. It all started after they decided to get a new pet after her mum's German Shepherd, named Cops, died, reports the Mirror.
She said: "After mourning for a bit, mum and dad decided to get a dog together, as a couple. So they went to Palo Alto Animal Shelter to adopt. The year was 1987, and at the time, Palo Alto was not a great place.
