She believes she is a wolf — technically, a werewolf — and so shewears a tail. She also wears a harness in case someone special wants todrag her around.

And last week, she used a pocketknife in her kitchen to decapitate adog — already dead, according to Wolfie — that had been missing sinceJan. 5.

“I severed the head, boiled the head,” Wolfie said. “People make themistake of hacking the spine, which will fracture the skull.”

She added, “You also have to put (the head) outside for the brains to leak out.”

Before the teenager carted the cranium to the woods, someone held itup and snapped a photograph of it inside her Northwest Side house — ashot that ended up on the Internet.

Within days, the photo had spurred an aggressive animal crueltyinvestigation by Animal Care Services and the San Antonio PoliceDepartment.

It also inspired at least one so-called troll — a savvy, anonymousInternet user — to hack into Wolfie’s personal accounts, engage inamateur sleuthing and issue threats to those deemed responsible for thedog’s fate.

Bearing the brunt of these attacks, Wolfie — born Sarah Rodriguez —says she’s guilty of nothing more than an abiding love for taxidermy.

“I would never kill a canine,” she said. “I am a canine.”

Lisa Rodriguez, Wolfie’s mom, said she supports her daughter’s career goal.

“I say, ‘Don’t sever heads in front of me,’” she said. “She usually does it in the woods.”
