Yeah - I've actually gotten to see an Alpha wolf up close and personal, and NOT in a cage (was brought on a tour to the local environmantal center)

The handler actually believed "there are no documented cases of wolves attacking humans" - I had to supress the laughter on THAT comment.

I will say he was an AMAZING animal - and his handlers had him under amazing control. That said I felt a lot better that he was in a spot that there was NO way he was getting to me OR my children. Picture a really really fit husky - and about 75% larger, and a LOT more muscles
