Wolf attacks Dog in Twisp, Wa.

WOLF ATTACKS LOCAL DOG, TWISP, WA
 
 
 
Sunday morning, at approximately 1:00 AM, John _____ was awakened by one of his dogs furiously barking and growling, while still inside the house, at their living room sliding glass deck doors. John hurried to the door and saw a very large wolf up on the ten-foot-high deck, savagely attacking his blue heeler dog. He opened the door in an attempt to rescue his dog, but his other dog pushed past him out to the attack. The wolf and dog fought out on the deck for a short time before the wolf lept off the deck and headed toward the creek bottom with John's dog hot on his heels. The blue heeler, "Shelby" was taken to Daniel Deweert's Valley Veterinary Clinic for treatment. "Shelby" is still in critical condition with deep puncture wounds to her head and neck..
 
 
 
WDFW was called. John told them that he was within two feet of the wolf in an attempt to save his dog, but  WDFW suggested "perhaps it was a cougar instead of a wolf!" John assured them that he was within very close proximity to the wolf, and that he had numerous wolf sightings close to his home and knew a wolf when he saw one. John asked WDFW if they would be paying any of the vet bills, their reply was, "We will have to send this information to Olympia to see if it will be called a wolf attack or not."

A cougar  :bash: really! There is NO way that you would NOT be able to tell the difference between a cougar attack and a wolf attack. The dog would have claw marks on it for sure not to mention the bight marks would be  different from the two jaw patterns. It really makes me made when these wildlife agents think that everyone not in their field are idiots.

This is sad, but not something that can be blamed on the WDFW. And I'm not sure why the state should be paying the vet bill.

Save your money. Wolves are a wild animal and if they want to be here, they can get here with the use of their own four feet. Just like they got to Twisp, by walking across the Canadian border. Hmm... Maybe Canada should be responsible for the vet bill?    :dunno:
