I would hug a real wolf ^-^
Anyone else? :P

No. I wouldn't hug a real wolf.
As much as I like wolves, they are wild animals. They probably won't kill you on sight, but they are aggressive carnivores and it would be very dangerous for someone to get close enough to hug them. Especially if you were to encounter the wolf in the wild.
If it were a more 'tamed' wolf that works closely with humans on a regular basis, maybe I would. But even then I still probably wouldn't or be very cautious. Wolves aren't dogs.
I'm sorry if this sounded pretty negative, but it's just what I think. Again, I like wolves, I have many wolf characters and have even donated to some wolf-saving foundations, but they're dangerous. :P

I've hugged wolves before, I do it every day ^-^
-
Depends. If it was a wild wolf then no, I would not hug it cause it'll probably try and bite my face off, though I may be slightly tempted. But if it was a captive, socialised wolf then I probably would, if the keepers said it was okay to.

Probably you have one as a pet? Do you?
Anyway to the question. It really just depends. If the wolf is tamed and is willing to be hugged in an orderly fashion, then I don't mind hugging it. Or even petting it. As long it's tamed and well secured by some people who works there, then yes. Also, the reason I would hug a wolf because I saw a celebrity, aka Holland Roden, hugged one; and the wolf was super frkendly. It was jumping on her and everything.
But then again, if it's crazily wild, then no.

Most likely if you hug a wolf then it will attack you because it feels trapped or it may think you are trying to hurt it, even if it's "tamed". They're aggressive animals and they don't have the same social behavior as us. Wolves are wild animals, so they didn't get domesticated by us for thousands of years and got used to any of our social cues over time. This is why cats usually only meow at people and most dogs bark a lot. Thousands of years of domestic breeding caused them to learn our most useful social cue, verbal communication. The wolves today do not know our social cues because their individual ancestors were not domesticated unlike the dog's ancestor. Really, it takes a while for a dog or cat to actually learn what a hug is, and sometimes they will never learn at all. Overall, a hug to another animal may seem like a way to get attacked or trapped by a stronger, strange, more mentally developed animal who stands way taller than them (humans).

Well, as much as I would like to... no.
Well, wolves are territorial animals and are pretty scared of humans, and with those combined factors, they would probably not like me being near them... let alone touching and wrapping my arms around them. Even tamed, they probably wouldn't be too comfortable.
I mean, I would definitely love to come into contact with a wolf (tamed, of course), but not sure if I'd like to hug it.
But that's just my opinion.

How'd you know :P
They're wolf/dog hybrids.
(The names are Asia, Hopper, Mya, Shyann, Nikki, and Hunter)

It was obvious x3. If you can touch one everyone, then that means you eventually have one as a pet. :p But that's pretty cool to have one.
-
Well, wolf/dog hybrids are different from a full, wild wolf. They may be able to be hugged, but not so much a wild wolf.
-
wolf/dog hybrids actually still have the mind of their wolf counterpart so they can be as aggressive at times.
-
Yea,
Nikki is sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute
Asia lets me pet her while she eats ^-^ (so do the others other than Hunter)
Shyann is SO hyper. She can't sit xD
Hopper is a Great Pyrenees/wolf mix
Mya is part wolf, part coyote, part...idk
Hunter is just a bum XD
(He growls sometimes but he doesn't bite :P)
