LOL.  At one point in time OK made the distinction 100 % wolf is a wolf, 
99% wolf is a dog.  That's why many wolf/hybrid breeders moved here.  
Technically they are the same species though some vets refuse to treat 
'wolves'.  We had that happen to our dog when she was injured and we 
needed emergency care.  The first vet we went to refused to treat her 
and said we needed to go to a vet that had an "exotic" permit.  I 
suspect the ability to look behind without turning has more to do with 
the musculature of the neck rather than the bones.  I would assume a 
bulldog or any other thick necked dog  may have the same issue.  Of 
course, this is pure speculation on our part and I don't pretend to know 
what the medieval people thought or experienced.  I just know Bryna 
exhibited that behavior.
