* ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'': Liru is a werewolf who is a GenkiGirl, and her wolf form looks like an adorable little wolf pup.

How and why a certain werewolf, or pack of werewolves, acts with kindness varies, although at least some of it may be traced back to mankind's longstanding relationship with dogs. For thousands of years, humans have bred domestic dogs to be friendly, loyal, and obedient. Since werewolves are canine creatures, it's fairly easy to assign them dog-like personality traits (i.e. licking other people's faces, playing fetch, etc.), especially in more comedic works. Another reason for friendly werewolves may just be the recent trend towards portraying traditionally evil or malicious creatures/monsters as benign or even heroic. Yet another reason may be because of wolves [[NobleWolf being seen in a positive light]] in recent years.

* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': There exists a pack of werewolves who are good guys.

* ''Literature/TalesOfTheFiveHundredKingdoms'': Comes about after enough magic is applied in the right way to a dangerous werewolf.

* ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus'' stars with one. Tommy Dawkins was an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent before he got bitten by a werewolf, which, in turn, gives him all the powers and drawbacks of being a werewolf. He uses his powers for good, though [[HeroWithBadPublicity residents in his community largely sees his werewolf form as only a danger]], forcing him to keep his werewolf identity a secret, outside of select characters who serve as SecretKeeper.
