Hunter Thompson does modern take on Hell.  The wolf was seen in Inferno Cant I.  Translation from https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/inferno/inferno-1/: “Maladetta sie tu, antica lupa, / che più che tutte l’altre bestie hai preda / per la tua fame sanza fine cupa!” (Cursed be you, ancient wolf, who more than all the other beasts have prey, because of your deep hunger without end! [Purg. 20.10-12])
