   Wolves drink unlike dogs?

   From: Kyler@news.Lairds.org   
      
   I've heard a lot of canine myths but I recently encountered something   
   new.  I wonder if it has *any* factual basis.   
      
   A man saw me with our northern breed foster dogs and told me about his   
   wolf hybrid.  He explained that one of the dog's siblings drank water   
   by curling its tongue lengthwise and using it "like a straw."  That,   
   of course(!), is how wolves drink so it was immediately killed for   
   being too wolf-like.   
      
   I haven't found any info about differences between wolves and dogs when   
   it comes to drinking.  Any pointers?   
      
   Thank you.
