North Bend WA - Bull Elk plays with Dog
« on: December 04, 2013, 12:28:34 PM »
I ran across this on someones Facebook.  Nothing more rewarding than seeing the barriers that are often ignored in the animal kingdom.  It would be real interesting to be in the head of both the dog and the elk to see whether it is purely fun and games as it appears to be or if there is a little bit of taking a stand and defending going on.  Warms my heart either way!  :)

Looks like that young bull was toying with the dog just for fun!

What a large and tasty playmate  :tup:

Maybe the dog can bring him back in a few years  :archery_smiley:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

its all fun and games until your dog catches a hoof or gets stomped... theres videos out there of what deer can do to a dog, an elk is another few hundred pounds behind that hoof if things get sideways.  :bdid:

Looks to me like those two were respecting each others distance.  More of that on the dogs end.  Any dog that truly tries to take on a deer or elk is most likely going to lose a battle more sooner than later.  We lost two of our dogs because one of them took a liking to chasing four legged creatures, the other was along just because he was a buddy.  You should see what a bullet does to a dog!  :'(

Saw a similar thing with a wolf and a horse north of Riggins.  When it got more serious several horses showed up and the wolf evaporated.
