Just look at sparkledogs at dA or other sides.
Wolves (and dogs) seem to be pretty common now. The thing, that annoys me mostly is, that so many people think "well, lets make an evil character! *tooks wolf, colours him black and gives him scars or/and red eyes*".
Well, I only can join these opinions. I've rarely seen a "real" lion in FH.
And pls note, that I don't want to say that wolves or people who own wolf-charas have less of imagination.
