After learning about that incident,I would tote a short barrel shottie,as you Canucks call them!Wolves were never close to extinction in Canada,so this is normal behaviour for a Timber Wolf.It's not going to affect anyones path of life adversely if a few wolves meet their maker!If that were me walking my dog,there wouldn't be that"Dog bitey sound"that's for sure!I have family/friends living in Montana & N.Dakota that are having problems with that very same species,that were transplanted 10 yrs ago,Real Brilliant planning by people of whom do not inhabit those area's!Sorry!,I almost started to rant,I bid you Good thinking for any future walks in that realm!
