This photo is making round again. To clear up what it is after I've delved deep into the history of this photo;

These are Timber Wolves, used for carting in the early 1900's, to promote "Cream of Rye" cereal.

Now known as General Mills, it was originally The Minneapolis Cereal Company.
Professor Damrel and his wife started on the road on May 15, 1912 from their general store in Ashland, Wisconsin, and by July 30th they had reached Racine, a distance of about 374 miles in 76 days at an average speed of about 5 miles a day.
On October 17th, The Decatur Review reported that J.R. Damrel and wife drove a team of wolves into Decatur, Illinois, and that the team "is composed of three Siberian wolves, one husky, one large Alaskan dog and one timber wolf". Though Mr. Damrel said he expected to reach New York City by the middle of December, and that his dog team averaged 40 miles a day, the actual distance between Racine, Wisconsin, and Decatur, Illinois is just 277 miles, a distance traversed in 79 days at a speed of about 3.5 miles a day.
So what's the real story?

It appears Mr. Damrel dug out a litter of wolf pups near Cayuga, Wisconsin, raised them up for a year or two, trained them to pull a wagon with perhaps the addition of one or two wolf-like Alaskan sled dogs. He then sold the folks at the Minneapolis Cereal Company on a promotion for their new rye cereal, danced up a fancy story to help grease the promotion circuit (and perhaps get a free room on the way), and made a 700-mile trip of it over five months, never once tripping over his own tail in an era of weak reporting and poor long-distance communication.

How did they ever domesticate them?

Had a wolf pup 40 years ago . Big and bold ,friendly but you could see in hi eye's that he was wild , I never trusted him as he always snuck up behind you . My daughter and her got along real well .Sorry it was a female.

I have Twice

Great picture

For a short time years ago, there was a guy living near us in the country who had one in a pen. He only lived there a short time until some nearby folks complained. That animal had some scary looking eyes as it would stare at you.

Probably did not worry much about someone taking them from you when you were stopped. At 5 miles per day there sure must have been a lot of down time. The average human can cover 5 miles in less then 2 hours.
