Told Dunc the golden retriever,scientists are saying they may have resurrected a Dire wolf.

At the moment I have meatloaf in oven and Dunc a golden retriever floof the apex predator ancestor of wolves is sitting here next to me.
And he is drooling the kitchen floor is wet he smells the meatloaf.
So I’m thinking as humans looking at my right paw a descendant of Wild Wolves . I’m thinking we really can screw shit up.

No judge i love my right paw my rotten soldier my best boy.

Yet I just read article on Dire wolf clone and I’m like after those dire wolves find out we have couches domestication is imminent.

...JD Vance might overhear you and then there'd be a problem. "Dominance" isn't what the D stands for.

They should be labeled as "Ingredients: wolf*. (* May contain traces of dire.)"
