'More like a cuddly puppy': Oklahoma City police help capture pet wolf spotted by daycare

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Legends of the "Big Bad Wolf" are actually more like a big cuddly puppy, according to Oklahoma City police officers.

A wolf was spotted near a daycare on Tuesday morning.

When OKCPD officers arrived to the scene, partners at The Village Police Department said they had recently received a report of a resident who lost their pet. The resident told officers their pet was an 85% wolf and 15% Alaskan Malamute mix.

Officers were able to coax the big wolf into their patrol car and safely returned it to its owner.
