I could write a whole essay on that but to keep it short, I'm a big animal lover, always felt a deep connection to wolves, and always loved anthropomorphic animals, and basically had a fursona before I even knew what a furry was. So it was only a matter of time before I joined the fandom. What lead me up to becoming one was just realizing that there other people out there who liked the same things as me, and because of this I've met great friends who can always make me smile :)
AWESOME, because this was the year I joined this fandom and was able to make some awesome friends and simply do what I love with people who enjoy it just like me.
hmmmm..have you ever started petting a wolf thinking it was someones pet, and feeding it potato chips only to find it was a wolf not an extremely large dog? (yes this happened to me just wonderin if it ever happened to anyone else)
Though I must admit, you're answer's pretty good too x3
