How did the teen get in the yard and hide without needing to shoot the wolf?
Dogs and wolfs don’t go after criminals. They only go after armed cops. /s
Excellent question.
My friends raised wolf-dogs, about 90% wolf. Their big male was British Columbian Black, huge guy and not totally tame. They let him in the house with supervision.
Early one morning when I was visiting, I stood in a long white robe staring out at the scenery, making coffee, the first person up. Suddenly, two paws landed on my shoulders. I froze. Never felt so much fear before and don't want to experience it again. I turned my head slowly and looked UP into the face of this giant black animal, who looked like Little Red Riding Hood's wolf.
I called out my host's name and he came and got the wolf off my back. Apparently wolfie was just expressing his affection for me. LOL
Anyway, I can understand why the police in the news story were totally frightened. To their credit, they did not murder the wolf.
Odd, that the wolf does not seem to have gone after the teen, also an intruder, unless he decided the second intruder was more of a Threat to The Boss than the first.
