With over 521,000 views in just SIX DAYS, one of our DireWolf Dogs, Lupin, recently became a viral video sensation on TikTok!
Lupin’s TikTok now has 4.5 MILLION LIKES!
The six second video traveled the world over when it featured Lupin as a HUGE puppy and then again as a 150 lbs adult with a long wizard’s beard, like Gandolf!
The Internet went CrAzY for his amazingly unique look!
Here’s the TikTok video link for you:

So, Newsweek then reached out to Alyssa, Lupin’s owner, in South Carolina for comment.
Rachael O'Connor, one of Newsweek’s Life and Trends reporters based in the UK, wrote a cute article on Lois Schwarz’s American Alsatians and how the Dire Wolf Project aims to recreate the exact bone and body structure of the extinct, prehistoric dire wolf.
VERY COOL!
Here’s the Newsweek article. ENJOY!
