Construction workers save drowning dog in distress, take him for emergency treatment, only to learn that the "dog" is actually a wild wolf: “He was calm... he slept on my legs"

We wish you a pawfectly pleasant beginning of the week, animal fam. We like our Mondays to be boring, normal, without any surprises whatsoever. Mondays are tough enough without something unexpected happening, so let's keep the excitement to a minimum, shall we? Well, at the very least, we hope our Monday is less exciting and surprising than the story below, which involves a miraculous rescue and a giant "dog". 

A team of construction workers found an animal struggling to swim after accidentally falling into a frozen lake. They rushed to save the animal, not thinking about anything else. It turned out to be a large canine, whom they rushed to the hospital after for emergency treatment. Now, this wouldn't be the first time people have assumed anything canine was just a normal dog. We recently wrote a story about a woman who saved a coyote from the street, thinking it was a lost house dog. Well, when they got the vet, they learned that the "dog" was actually a wild wolf! Scroll down to read the full story below!
