Follow-up Note: Troopers descended on the business in
2011 and performed genetic tests on the animals, determining they were
wolf-dog hybrids. It is illegal to possess wolf dogs under any circumstance.
They also said Schuster sold animals that later bit people or attacked
dogs. A "devastated" Schuster released his more than two dozen
hybrids to a California rescue group in 2011 after the state said they
were going to have the animals destroyed. He pleaded guilty in 2012
to a count of owning and selling a wolf hybrid and was fined $3,000.
Schuster said he bought his first wolf-dog pup for $5 on the streets
of Anchorage back in 1958..
Werner Schuster, the 83-year-old owner of this wolf-themed
roadside attraction along the Glenn Highway, died of natural causes
in 2014.
