The article misses the most important point about what happens when wolves are raised like dogs.

The full-grown wolf will be a wonderful and intelligent member of the household right until the master of the house shows some sign of injury. Then your loving pet will try to take control of "the pack".

This is the primary reason that they have to get euthanized. At that point they cannot live in the wild, and they are no longer safe to have in your home.

That sounds very plausible. I would be very interested in sources for this. How many accounts of wolves raised as pets exist and when and where have wolves had to be euthanized? Is there a distinction between accounts where the euthanasia occurred before an actual incident of dominance/attack versus after.

I learned about this from an interview on a TV show where people who rescued wolves explained how their wolves came to be there and why people shouldn't have wolves as pets.

I've run across the tidbit at other places, but nothing that I can easily google for at the moment. (Googling for "wolf pet dominance" comes up with debates about training pet dogs by establishing yourself as the alpha.)
