Wolf courtesy for a Saudi family is not an impossible job that is only seen in action films, such as the famous Mowgli movie. This act is part of the usual daily life of the Al-Sarhani family that lives in the Al-Jouf region in the north of the Kingdom, as they have already lived with wolves in their home for more than 10 years.
Adim, one of the Arab wolves living with the Saudi family, appeared calm and indifferent as Rami Al Sarhani, two young children (4 and 7 years old) raised him, combing his fur and kissing him.
Likewise, the two children seemed reassured that, since their birth, they shared life with wolves in the family home.
"My family's relationship with them (wolves) is like my relationship," said salam wolves educator Rami Al-Sarhani, 37, who works in the financial sector. Kshh (fear) among themselves. The boy comes with him and plays with him, knowing that he is dangerous. I mean, you know that the wolf is difficult to deal with, then this is his, manipulating him, and he touches him again, boy, touch him, touch him, so these things happen.
Wolves have lived with the Al-Sirhani family for 11 years, which has strengthened the relationship between the two parties.
However, the guests, at first glance, were often shocked when they saw wolves in the Sirhani Council. But most of them eventually become friendly with her, as the diet that the head of the family has been used to prevents her from eating uncooked meat.
And on that, Rami Al-Sarhani says, “For people, God is surprised. Jay was with me without knowing that the gold was sitting with me in the council and I was surprised that he had a seat sitting with you in the council. I mean, what is an animal that is alive by God (not any ordinary animal), an animal, and you are not answering for you, generosity, dog or pet need. Did you put it in the council? This thing dazzles most people that you are tuned (tamed) and obeying orders, knowing that this need is rare that you control it.
"As for safety with the children and the household, you are now when you trust him, or you give him food that instills his instinct. He does not have the audacity that he comes to betray you or he dares to eat you." This is the first and main reason that I mainly give him something cooked with blood, which stimulates his instinct. This is the main thing that I can assure my family and my family that it does not bother them with anything. ”
The child, Sayel Al-Sarhani, said: “I love the perpetrator, I am not afraid of him, and he is my friend, and every day I play with him.”
Al-Sarhani explained that wolves become very aggressive during their mating season (January to March), and thus are isolated to avoid harming a family member.
