It is assur to own a dog. If you see a jew with a dog, you can’t eat at their house or drink their wine, or give them an aliya, or bury them in a jewish cemetery.
You have to bury them in a dog cemetery.
Is that a permanent p’sul, or does it disappear if you no longer own a dog?
Also, what if you are a dog? A wolf is more or less just an undomesticated dog anyway…
And what about someone who owns a hamster?
