Hey swampy!
I've heard a few people claim to see wolves in lower Michigan, just a bit north of Manistee. After, as you said, all the BS from the DNR regarding the cougar, I'm more inclined to believe the regular Joe than them.
If there is, someone will get one on a trail cam.
And the DNR will still deny it. LOL
That is a beautiful dog/hybrid!!!

Might not be a pure shepherd. Could be a "Timber Shepherd" like I used to raise - a cross between German Shepherds and Timber Wolves. My big male was 50/50 wolf / german shepherd. His pa was a 160 pound pure blood timber wolf, and he himself weighted 140 pounds. His paws were so big that my ex wife's bitty little ankle biter dogs had entire feet that were not as big as one of his toes.
Some folks are reluctant to let it be known they have a timber shepherd, because any mix over 10% wolf requires a wildlife license, if it's even legal to keep at all. For example, I don't think wolves are legal to keep at all in Virginia, and neither would be a 15% or better timber shepherd.
