The dog, called Cadabomb Okami, is a "wolfdog" making the eight-month-old pup a rare breed.

Okami is a cross with an actual wolf!
The wolf has been crossed with a Caucasian Shepherd native to the Caucasus region.
While the puppy might not yet be a year old, he reportedly weighs 75kg and stands 30 inches (76cm) tall.

Okami is a rare dog breed and can now also claim the title of the most expensive dog in the world!
Have a look at the fluffy puppy here:
Satish owns more than 150 different dog breeds and is also the president of the Indian Dog Breeders Association.
He has been taking Okami to various events to show off his prize pup, including movie premieres.
He is an extremely rare breed of dog and looks exactly like a wolf. This breed has not been sold in the world before. The dog was bred in the US and is extraordinary. I spent 500 million rupees on buying this pup because I am fond of dogs and like to own unique dogs and introduce them to India.
Satish's collection also includes a Chow-Chow that resembles a red panda, which he bought for R59 million (£2.5million).
The owner has six kennel hands caring for his dogs and his animals only receive the best care.
