While the Friendly Wolf idea (henceforth abbreviated FWI) would indeed make a great cover for a wolf or cobbler, the idea itself isn't per se suspicious - there have been precedents (witness Zil in Eönwë's Night Guard game). Anyway, it wouldn't have taken much brains to reckon with the possibility that such a cover would rather sooner than later be blown by a Moddess clarification, so that would have made a rather short-lived strategy.
