- Like Jed, Dimitri was a wolf-dog hybrid. The contrast is Jed was part Alaskan Malamute while Dimitri was part German Shepherd.
- His nearby inmates at Steve Martin's Working Wildlife were Teddy and Buck. These two purebred northwestern wolves starred in Dances with Wolves (1990).
- After filming "Benji the Hunted", employees of Working Wildlife transferred Dimitri to Palmdale, California's Performing Animal Troupe. He was kept there until staff members from Performing Animal Troupe used him for the Sony Pictures production of Wolf (1994), but scenes featuring Dimitri were really filmed in Vermont.
- His mother was a captive Alexander Archipelago wolf originally from Juneau, Alaska's Gastineau Humane Society. His father was a domesticated German Shepherd that previously worked as a security dog for Bellingham, Washington's police department.
