No, the wolf is NOT stinky!
J. M. Pescado:
Wolves are naturally stronger-smelling animals, because they are pack hunters, unlike cats, which are solitary hunters. A cat relies on stealth to approach and kill its prey, and therefore, must not be detected by odor. A pack hunter like a wolf, on the other hand, doesn't need to be stealthy: It can instead simply use the smell of wolf to drive its prey downwind into the rest of the pack. So yes, this is why dogs smell.

I've had the 'stuck smelly dog' glitch for a very long time, before AL and not only with wolves. (I don't think the non-pack-leader wolves are any different from dogs anyway.) The smelly just... won't go away. I never did find out how to fix it.

Maybe the chick is reacting to the mess the dog is making by shaking off water.
No, she's a werewolf and has zero neat points. Also, I've seen walkbys making the 'smells bad' gesture.

Finally, someone who actually knows what I'm going through!
Actually wolves are treated differently than dogs ingame. I found out by poking around in SimPE that wolves have an NPC type of 0x002B whereas regular pets (as well as playable sims and townies) have an NPC type of 0x0000.
Which leads me to my real question: Is stuck wolf stinkiness something hard-coded in Pets and/or borked by a later EP, or is it caused by 'tight pants'?

I only have up to Free Time, and I too have suffered from the same glitch. Both of the dogs who suffered from it just so happened to be wolves though.
OT, but when you say you don't think non-pack-leader wolves are any different than regular dogs, I have to wonder if that's completely true. I have a lot with 2 wolves as pets, and they really seem to attract a lot of other non-pack-leader wolves to the lot. Every time I play that lot, it seems like I have at least two random wolves visiting the lot nearly constantly.
I wonder if all wolves in the game are meant to attract "packs."
Tarlia:
Hm, interesting. They do behave exactly like dogs, but it makes sense that they'd attract other wolves.
