First, I must point out that this story is true and strange, the story of a woman who raised a wolf as if it were her son.
The story begins when
Ms Evangelia Fraka was living in a small village in Greece .. One day in 1976, Mrs. Evangelia found a seriously injured little wolf that had probably been abandoned by its mother in the forest near the village where Mrs. Evangelia lived .. So Mrs. Evangelia, after her heart softened for this weak, small creature, decided to carry him and take him with her to her house, which she lives alone, which is located at the foot of a mountain in the village of Langadia ..

In her home, Mrs. Evangelia took care of her little wolf child and fed him, and the news of the little pet wolf in the village quickly spread among the people.. Mrs. Evangelia's house became a place to visit the village's children and adults as well, who used to come daily to visit her little wolf son and play with him, as he became beloved by the village's children ..

Days and years passed and the little creature turned into a big wolf. Signs of ferocity began to appear in his behavior, his sharp eyes, and his frightening howl .. The villagers flocked to Mrs. Evangelia, advising her to return the wolf to the forest, where it had become a danger, as it should be after it has grown up and become able to rely on itself .. And so that he doesn't become a danger to the kids who come to play with him on the other hand ..

But Ms Evangelia flatly refused to give up her wolf child, whom she raised and cared for for years .. This caused the villagers to move away from Evangelia's house, causing her to be completely isolated ..

One evening, when Mrs. Evangelia approached her ten-year-old wolf son to offer him food, he attacked her aggressively, causing her several injuries to all parts of her body!
Ms Evangia was quickly taken to hospital .. And doctors were able to treat her . . The villagers said: (She must have been convinced now of the necessity of getting rid of this savage son, but they were surprised by her when they went to visit her while she was lying on her bed crying bitterly !!
Evangelia was begging doctors and officials not to harm her wolf son .. She said, wiping her tears: (I made a mistake .. It is an intelligent animal, and it must have heard my neighbors and friends asking me to get rid of it !!

Ms Evangelia was 54 and had never been married or had any children and had no experience raising children .. She continued her opinion for the duration of her treatment .. She begged the officials, saying (Do not take him away from me, for he has become for me a son whom I worked so hard to raise ! And I promise I'll be more careful next time ..!

Expert opinion on this strange phenomenon:
One of the experts in animal behavior confirmed his support for Mrs. Evangelia’s words and said: The wolf is an uninhabited animal, but it is intelligent, and it may have felt that its owner was thinking of getting rid of it, so it wanted to punish her !

At the end of the story, we find that there are people who have become attached to predatory animals and are raising them as pets .
