Wolf Taming issues (disappearing)
I have been trying to tame a 1 or 2 star wolf. I have been successful but I've ran the wolf back, and at some point in time the wolf either disappears or runs off somewhere.
<The first wolf> was in my pen and tamed(2 star), I went into my house to deposit meats and came back out, and it was nowhere to be found! I looked everywhere on the mountain, downthe mountain... and never found his remains.
<the second wolf> I tamed(1 star) successfully but this time I didn't care that I had meat on me and instead ran him straight home. Once I got home, he attacked a few things along the way, and I made sure he was still following. Then I got to my gate, got in, and he never followed... I then looked back and he was gone too! Again, searched around and never found his remains.
<The third wolf> I was taming him(1 star again) in my same pen again... I walked a starless wolf home and penned him.... hourray! I had my friend watching him the entire time... I got back to the pen, and he despawned.

<Hidden>I've had this issue too, there may be a way to accomplish it using this method:

<Hidden>I wanted to add that I tamed another 2 star wolf, and it was probably a good 30 squares down a mountain away from one of those rock golems... once it was tamed, I opened up the gate and made it follow. It went and did a good 4 minutes of zig zags, and attacked the rock golem this time and died. That rock golem was fighting a drake, although it may have targetted me a bit at some time.
Between wolves disappearing due to the night time/day time cycle and the wildly aggressive nature of the wolves, it's near impossible to tame these :( -

<Hidden>Yep, this is definitely a thing,
I spent six in game days taming a 1 star wolf, and when I finally tamed it, I had it follow me out of its enclosure. It ran past me, up the mountain and I watched it vanish as it howled at the sky. Enjoy Valhalla, 1 star wolf. But it would be nice if 1 and 2 star wolves stuck around after spending so much effort taming them please. -

<Hidden>I succesfully tamed a 2 star wolf then I was about to transport it back to base but it ran off and despawned same way as wild ones do during the day time.

<Hidden>I've experiences this issue as well, I've tried taming two 2-star wolves in the plains which I've kited down from the mountain nearby
the 1st wolf disappeared when I used a portal to get back to my main base and repair my stuff - it was quite busted after having spent 2½ hours looking for a 2-star wolf .. when I came back, it had disappeared without a trace, the pen it was being tamed in was intact, the taming didn't finish but was close to being done
the 2nd wolf straight up disappeared while I was looking at its pen; it was minding its own business, howling all the time as usual, then it moved behind a wall so I could no longer see it, and it became quiet all of a sudden .. so I went to go see if everything was alright - I was crouched nearby, within range the whole time, but not so close that it would spot me - and it was just GONE .. if I could name the wolf, I would have named it Houdini

<Hidden>Hi,
I managed to tame 2 wolves too, brought them back in my camp and I went inside the house... as I forgot to tell them to "stay", they tried to follow me but as they are not able to see the door, they tried to circle around the house and then... did fall in the bonfire which killed both... :-D
If you could let pets be aware of fires and base defenses (wooden made), I would appreciate :-)
Also they let me a wolf cub but I can't move it myself to a safe place. Would it be possible to carry him as an item in the inventory in such a case ?
Thanks. -
