Dire Wolves were a real actual animal that lived in North America until right about 10,000 years ago, but they really weren’t much bigger than modern grey wolves! they were slightly more heavyset, but that’s about it.
however, their packs were much much larger than modern wolf packs, sometimes containing as many as 50 individuals.
however, if you really have your heart set on gigantic extinct canids and nothing else will do, don’t fret! look to the even more ancient canine family Borophaginae, the Bone-Crushing Dogs! they are here for YOU when you need them :)
