What do you get, when you mix a Timer Wolf and a Malamute? Answer- the bottom picture. Of course, the top two pictures are not this dog's real parents, but I just wanted to represent the generic breeds. Who does the "baby" take after? To me- Its the malamute; otherwise, I doubt if the animal would be on the sofa (or even in the house at all). People are like this too. Sometimes children are as different as night is from day. And the consequences are equally as obvious...
Genesis, Chapter 25
19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. 21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it be so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh. 23 Yahweh said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb.
Two peoples will be separated from your body.
The one people will be stronger than the other people.
The elder will serve the younger.”
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau. 26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

And this wasn't the extent of their differences; for Jacob followed after God and Esau did not. The result- Israel came from the former and Edom from the latter. This was still not the end of these things, for...
Malachi, Chapter 1
1 An oracle: Yahweh’s word to Israel by Malachi.
2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh.
Yet you say, “How have you loved us?”
“Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” says Yahweh, “Yet I loved Jacob; 3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places”; thus says Yahweh of Armies, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”

Why did God hate Esau? Because of what he did. Question 1: What kind of life do you lead? Question 2: Does what I do make God pleased or displeased with me? Only you know the answers to them, but for your sake, I hope they are positive!!!
By the way- At 225 pounds, "baby" is one VERY BIG DOG!!!
