It was then they called brute rescue , who told them to take the " wiener " to a nearby clinic for aesculapian care , which they move to do , all the while thinking the recipient of their attention was a dog – orCanis lupus familiaris . Indeed , it was only when they arrived at the animal shopping centre that they realized the animal was , in fact , a wolf .
Describing the endeavor , one of the men involved , Rando Kartsepp , toldPostimees , " We had to carry him over the incline . He weighed a just morsel . " During the car drive to the nub , Kartsepp told reporters , " He was calm , slept on my legs . When I require to stretch them , he lift his chief for a moment . "
By the time the wolf come at the animal nerve center , his blood insistence had dropped ( perchance explaining his docile behavior ) , the Estonian Union for the Protection of Animals ( EUPA ) toldBBC News .
