Bobcat, you need to *censored* keep your opinions to yourself unless you actually know something. Everybody here in Twisp knows these stupid wolves were planted here. So just stay on the coast and mind your own business and unless you know the man who this happened to I'd say stop bashing him.
Well since this happened in 2009 we would know by now weather the state paid out for the vet bills.
WOLF ATTACKS LOCAL DOG, TWISP, WA Sunday morning, at approximately 1:00 AM, John Stevie 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. Mr. Stevie 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!" Mr. Stevie 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."
Tue Mar 12, 2013 7:33 pm-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just talked with Mr Stevie, he assured me it was a wolf....So far hes talked with 2 fish and game guys and a state biologist ..I asked him about the cougar and he said it came up once and he assured them it was a wolf and they moved on... No food on the deck just the dog, and he says hes seen 10 or 11 wolves around his place but never had a issue ..Dog has been to the vet 2 times so far for the bites and his dog was a female weighing 60 pounds.. he isn't a fan of the wolf and obviously hates them more now. Wolf description was dark colored wolf, 130 pounds, 5 3/4 prints. Overall a pretty nice dude...
Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:04 pmI actully talked with the guy and his version isn't quit so dramatic. His version has some grey areas as well. Truth is all he knows is a wolf was fighting his dog on his porch. The dog could have been wandering around the property , encountered the wolf and high tailed it back up the stairs wolf in pursuit. Which isn't as sinister as the wolf stalking the dog as it slept on the porch dreaming of bones The owner of the dog said there were puncture wounds, the pics show the shaved area done by the vet. Making the attack area look worse. The owner also stated the dog had to go back to the vet wednesday Obviously the attack wasn't severe enough to warrant over night stay since this will be his 3 rd vet visit. The owner told me the wolf was 130 pounds. 130 pounds versus 60. If he's correct in the wieght, then that's not to much of attack. When you consider damage to the dog.. Since there is no news story yet ,the OP on it wrote it up in a inflammatory way best suited for his views on wolves....

So Village Idiot, when did this supposed attack take place? Aren't you the one who posted the false story about the dog getting killed in Wallace Idaho? Do you have a source for your story?It's funny there isn't a word about it in the Methow Valley News.

They have been pestering wolfbait and his livestock for the last couple weeks. Its interesting that when a cat does this, Wildlife comes out and kills the cat. You know, something hunters used to do with their own hounds. Now you as a taxpayer has to pay for some guy to do it. There are so few cats, thats why they are walking in downtown Twisp (which IS in the Methow Valley News) by the way. I do regresssssssss...... so, why is it the wolves get free parade. I think this is one of the hints Bobcat, WHY they are somewhat responsible.
