Days before disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is set to begin her 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors, an unlikely figure has emerged from the shadows, ready to carry on her legacy of lying, scheming, and most importantly, falsely insisting their dog is actually a wolf — kickboxer-turned-Romanian-convict, Andrew Tate.


Earlier this week, Tate took a break from pacing around his apartment, allegedly Photoshopping his beard and doing whatever else one does while on house arrest to follow in Holmes’ footsteps, erroneously claiming his pup is like, DEFINITELY a wolf, just as Holmes did with her dog Balto several years back. “First time seeing my wolf in 6 months,” Tate captioned the clip of him greeting his pup, noting that he “was in Dubai, then jail.”

“Heard he’s acting up,” Tate continued. “Let’s see how brave he is around the top G. A little love, and I’m sure he will be fine.”



Yet even more than Tate’s subsequent, very normal proclamation about how he could totally fight his dog — “In Mortal Kombat, I would destroy a singular wolf. Decimation,” he wrote before proclaiming himself as “one of the most powerful humans on the planet” — his fans were more focused on why he was trying to pass his dog off as anything but.



“That’s a wolf?” asked @PunchDrnkLove, one of the many Twitter users questioning Tate’s descriptors.


“Well, that is a husky, not a wolf, but I guess your followers wouldn’t know the difference, nor would you,” wrote @DanAkaPharao.


“>Pretending a husky is a wolf This is a 14-year-old trapped in a man's body,” added ‘@discordspies.·


All of which once again puts Tate in the doghouse — more or less his place of permanent residence. At least when he’s not in a Romanian prison, that is.
