A Bengaluru-based dog enthusiast, S Satish, has made headlines by purchasing a rare “wolfdog” named Cadaboms Okami for a staggering $5.7 million (approximately ₹50 crore). This extraordinary canine, a crossbreed between a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd, is believed to be the first of its kind and ranks among the most expensive dogs in the world.
A Unique Canine Addition to India
S Satish, the president of the Indian Dog Breeders Association, is well known for his passion for rare and exotic dog breeds. His latest acquisition, Cadaboms Okami, was born in the United States and is now only eight months old. Despite its young age, the pup already weighs over 5 kg and follows a diet of 3 kg of raw meat daily.
“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,” Mr. Satish said, according to The Sun.

Okami is considered a guardian breed, known for its intelligence and protective instincts. The American Kennel Club warns that such breeds “should never be taken lightly.”
The rare pup was sold to Mr. Satish in February, and he has already found a way to turn his prized pets into an attraction. According to reports, he earns anywhere from $2,800 (₹2.3 lakh) for a 30-minute showcase to $11,700 (₹9.7 lakh) for a five-hour appearance, as people line up to take selfies and photos with his exotic pets.
“I spent money on these dogs because they are rare. Besides, I get enough money because people are always curious to see them,” he explained. “They take selfies and pictures. My dog and I get more attention than an actor at a movie screening, we both are crowd-pullers.”
Luxury Living for Rare Breeds
Mr. Satish has a vast collection of over 150 rare breeds, including a Chow Chow that he previously bought for $3.25 million (₹27 crore). His dogs live in luxury on a seven-acre farm, where each one has its own 20ft by 20ft kennel.
“There is enough space for them to walk and run. There are six people to look after them,” he said. “They don’t need an air conditioner as the weather in the city is cool, but they are well taken care of,” he added.
With his growing collection of unique canines, Satish continues to bring exotic breeds to India while turning his passion into a profitable venture.
