After a 20 minute confrontation between the starving wolf, a lady, and 4 dogs, the Lab/Rottweiler mix attacked the wolf as it was trying to kill his little buddy. I've seen my Labs attack other dogs in the same type situation with aggressive other dogs, and basically they try to body-knock them off target and intimidate . Bad move with a wolf. He was dead in an instant, throat ripped out. Whereupon the wolf immediately proceeded to eat him, despite the other dogs and person 20 feet away. The wolf never offered aggression toward the person - just looking to kill something to eat. Person said the wolf was wobbly on her? feet. Obviously near dead from starvation, and in desperate last straits. Last edited by las; 03/17/14. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I feel sorry for any starving animal doing desperate things to try to live. BUT, had it been me, and I was packing, there would have been no fight, only a tanned winter wolf pelt on the wall. And my dog curled up on the sofa yet. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Dogs were snapped up, killed and eaten (IIRC) near ER and Ft Rich. while they were being walked.

Any time they kill something it wasn't what wolves do, or bears do, it was only because they were starving. Poor wolf. Just trying to stay a live. Pull that with my dog and eat a bullet!!!

I kinda have the same attitudes as she, toward the brown bears that have frequented my yard in Sterling over the last 30 years or so... the wolves that come thru, not so much. So far nothing has died. But I might get et one day... It's worth it. I mean - how many of you poor "civilized' [bleep] encounter these critters in your own yard or nearby... You pays your money and takes your chances. YMMV Kinda ironic that out here in the wayback (Kotzebue) I generally have to travel well out away from the village to find wild critters...except the resident snowshoe hare (of huge interest to my Lab!) in the lot across the road and an occaissional fox that comes hunting it, or cleaning up hunting scraps from the neighborhood hunting endeavors...

Keeping people out while they were actively trapping with big traps only made sense. Keeping the wolf kill quiet made even more sense... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
