Wolves haven’t roved wild in the UK since the 1400s but elsewhere the dog-like creatures are still running free.

The Anglian Wolf Society works to educate people about these often feared animals and supports a conservation project abroad.

Director of the society Caroline Elliott said: “The biggest myth is that wolves will attack human beings at random. They are born terrified of humans and their default is to run.

“They are incredibly gentle, family orientated animals.”

Sisters Aiyana and Kaya, both aged nine, live at the sanctuary where they were born and were human socialised from birth, which involved volunteers spending day and night with them in the early days of their lives.
