I came across this video of some Italian wolves trying to catch a dog. This dog makes a narrow escape unlike some others I've seen on video who do not survive their encounters with these fearsome predators.
There's a number of these kinds of recordings of wolves going after dogs and I wanted to share some here because it's a good reminder of the precautions those of us who live in wolf country need to take in order to keep our animals safe.
I guess what I wanted to convey here was the lethality of wolves. They are killing machines. They make their living by killing and eating other animals. And it seems dogs are a special treat.
Recently this past winter a lady we know got some pictures of a half dozen or so wolves out on her frozen lake. That's just over a mile from where we live.
We've never had a problem here at our place with wolves, but they are all around and we sometimes find tracks on our land.
I'd like to think that having our 2 Kangal Dogs perhaps influences the wolves to look elsewhere for a meal rather than to try and find ways to get at our livestock.
