A man from Bengaluru has spent a staggering $5.7 million (approximately Rs 50 crore) on a rare half wolf and half dog named Cadabomb Okami.

Okami, touted as the rarest dog in the world and thought to be the first cross between an actual wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd, has become a sensation on the event circuit, a renowned dog breeder said.

Rare Breed On Show

S Sathish, 51, a well-known breeder from Bengaluru who owns over 150 different breeds, stopped breeding dogs about a decade ago. He now earns between £2,200 for 30 minutes and £9,000 for five hours by showcasing his unique canine collection to eager audiences.

“I spent money on these dogs because they are rare. Besides, I get enough money because people are always curious to see them,” Sathish told The Sun.

Touted as the rarest dog in the world, the pup was born in the US and sold through a broker in India in February. At just eight months old, Okami weighs a staggering 75kg and stands 30 inches tall.

Sathish, who is also president of the Indian Dog Breeders Association, said, “He is an extremely rare breed of dog and looks exactly like a wolf. This breed has not been sold in the world before.”

He added, "The dog was bred in the US and is extraordinary. I spent 50 million rupees on buying this pup because I am fond of dogs and like to own unique dogs and introduce them to India.”Caucasian Shepherds, known for their muscular build and fluffy coats, originate from cold countries such as Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and parts of Russia. These dogs are celebrated as exceptional guard dogs, often used to protect livestock from wolves on mountainous terrain.

Okami has already made a mark in Karnataka, where Sathish has paraded him at several high-profile events, including film premieres. One clip of Okami on the red carpet has attracted almost 3 million views online, Sathish claimed.
