Wolves’ Tactic to Lure Domestic Dogs Into Ambush Attack
 
February 9, 2015 By WEI Staff
 
An article found at CBC News in Canada, relates the story of a third domestic dog being attacked and killed by wolves:
 
“This past weekend, wolves attacked and killed a Yukon family’s dog in the Judas Creek subdivision at Marsh Lake.
 
It is the third reported incident of a wolf attacking a dog in the Marsh Lake area. The last attack was at the end of December.
 
David Bakica, a Yukon conservation officer, says cold weather could be contributing to the wolves’ search for food and peoples’ dogs are an easy target.
 
“One wolf will often come around and dance around and play, the dog will bark and go after it. Once they get a little ways away from houses or people other wolves will show up and that’s the end of the dog.””

Coyotes do the same thing.

For sure. I have seen coyotes do this. The 2 times I have seen it happen it was a female coyote trying to sucker a male dog. I am sure it's the same way for wolves.

I had a plot hound that was a coyote magnet. In 3 years I watched 2 female come in next to the house and play with him and try to get him to play chase. I Killed both females with a shotgun after sneaking around the house. Both times after I shot the female more coyotes out in the field behind the house took off. Good thing he had a strong chain.

I heard my dad yelling one morning and came down the stairs and he said your dog is getting attached. I ran out the door and 2 coyotes and him were in a ball rolling around on the ground. I was trying to save him and didn't pick up a gun. As soon as I got within kicking distance they took off like a bullet out of a gun.
