One deaf guy that I knew loves wolves and he has decorations of wolves all over his apartment when I saw his place long time ago. My other friend loves elephants and has lot of elephant decoration stuff also.
I like the symbolism 'lone wolf' but that's all. My sister, who is fully hearing has a wolf as a pet, he's a real soft squishy dog, by this I mean playful and mellow. He was the runt of the litter so that might be it.
