Experts say the hybrids risk ‘polluting’ the genetic stock, but scientists disagree on how to deal with them. In Piedmont, Italy, the sight of a blond wolfdog signals the risk of another new litterPhotographs by Alberto OliveroFrom the moment the rangers first saw him on their trail cameras, the problem was apparent.
