no way he would be able to pick that big boy up. must weigh close to 250# german shepards get up to 100+ # and that wolf is at lease twice as big.

He was killed in Minnesota a month ago! At least that's what it said last time I seen it. 
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Depends on how big ( small , short ) a fella he is , I'm five foot a hundred and fifty pounds and a everything looks bigger when I hold something up ( my fishing budys always have me hold the big cats up so they look even bigger ).
A friend of mine had a wolf/sheperd cross that when it stood on its hind legs his head was close to seven feet or more high, a good winter coat and me next to it would look about the same.

 Likely a big fish photo where perspective plays into it a lot. Still a big dog. That winter coat always makes them look much bigger as well. Not that unbelievable to get a wolf that big . Tracked one with a paw about 5" across that made tracks like a race horse when it got to the road. Skinned a pup one time that was at least as long as that one in the picture and judging by the lack of wear on the teeth, he was still a pup. He was likely 120 or so (guess)

The Inuit have a legend that one of the minor gods was left in charge while the others went out to party. He decided to turn all the animals into humans for a joke.  When the others got back they were p.o.'d and killed him.  They then started turning all the animal/humans back into animals, but they missed the wolf's eyes...they are still human.

They are something that sure grabs our attention, aren't they?

Yes indeed jw!when I told the locals of my encounter they joked well what did he say to you and that my spirit animal had come to visit because wolves never approached human nomally!

Nah, wolves are highly intelligent and curious animals with an amazing sense of humor.  He was just checking to see how close he could get to the nearly deaf/dumb/blind white guy before he crapped his drawers!
