Appearance: The hybrid is described as having the build and weight of a large wolf, but its coloration indicates it is a dog. Its fur is described as a brown, dark-brown, with reddish hues, lighter on the sides and yellowish on the belly. White patches on the throat, paws, and above the eyes are described as 'dirty-looking' due to the underlying brown tint. Its eyes are compared to topazes.
Behavior: Initially, the wolf-dog is cautious, observing the humans from a distance. When called by name, it shows a more submissive, dog-like demeanor. It joins them as they walk and displays restrained affection when petted. It then runs ahead on the trail with a wolf-like gait, appearing effortless and swift.
