Delta wasn't a stray originally. He was bred by an idiot who thought it would be easier to breed his own dog team, rather than calling any one of the many ads always in the papers giving away trained sled dogs. He bred one litter and decided that dogs were way too much work. He found homes for the puppies except Delta and Antare. They were born with some genetic shyness(their mother was timid). People don't adopt shy puppies very quickly. So until they were about 4 months old, they had food thrown at them and that was it. No socialization, no efforts to overcome the genetic shyness. At four months, the shelter had room for them. They stayed there until they were almost a year old. That's when they came to me. Took an hour to get Delta out of the truck that first day. He was frozen stiff with fear.
I can't see him joining a wolf pack, but he would definately hook up with other dogs roaming if he could. He's very good with other dogs and prefers them over people.
