Werewolves: The Hounds of God

We’ve had alot of discussion on whether or not werewolves are evil or good. One interesting story dating back to the late 1600s in Livonia is of a man named Thiess who claimed that he was a werewolf, and that werewolves were the “Hounds of God“. He said werewolves actually worked against the devil and for god. An interesting theory coming from this is that somehow the devil has turned humans against werewolves, so that they will destroy them and the devil can take over.
Are werewolves the Hounds of God? Are they evil? Or are they just humans with an infection?
