With all calm and tranquility, Rami Al-Sarhani and his two children patted the body of the wolf who has lived with the family in Al-Jouf region (northern Saudi Arabia) for more than ten years.

The wolf "Adeem" - one of the Arab wolves that live with the Saudi family - seemed calm and indifferent when the two children (4 and 7 years old) raised him, combed his furs and kissed him, after they shared life with him since their birth in the family home.

"My family's relationship with them (the wolves) is like my own," she said. "I became a household member and part of the usual daily life of the family, and despite its seriousness, we know the keys to dealing with it."

Playing with the wolf
Wolves have lived with the Al-Sarhani family for 11 years, which has strengthened the relationship between the two parties. "I love Al-Deeb Adeem and I am not afraid of him, he is my friend, and every day I play with him," says child Sael Al-Sarhani.

However, the guests were often shocked at first sight when they saw wolves in the Sirhani Council, but most of them become friendly with them in the end, as the diet that the head of the family used to prevent them from eating uncooked meat.

Al-Sarhani feeds the wolf with cooked food free of blood so that he does not arouse his instinct, dare and betray him or his household, and a friendship has developed between him and the wolf that made him know what the wolf loves and provides for him, and what he hates and avoids, and between them became a relationship like the relationship of friends.

Al-Sirhani explains that wolves become very aggressive during their mating season (January to March), and are thus isolated to avoid harming a family member.
