This sound effect was originally part of the Major Records/Valentino Sound Effects Libraries that was first made available in 1940, but has since gone out of print after Valentino Music shut down in the early 2010s. It was often used for werewolves or in other horror settings and productions.
An image of a wolf, the species responsible for the recording.
