Clever Dog Narrowly Escapes From Hunting Wolf Pack
UPI ^ | 2/20

Posted on 02/21/2018 4:20:23 PM PST by nickcarraway

An Italian man captured video of a dog's lucky escape when a pack of wolves appeared and attempted to make it into a meal.

Paolo Forconi posted a video to Facebook showing the scene he witnessed in Aubruzzo, Italy, when a wolf pack showed up in the area and started chasing a small dog.

The video shows the wolves surround and chase the dog, managing to bite it two times, but the smaller canine makes a narrow escape by jumping through an opening in a nearby fence.

The opening proves to small for the wolves to follow.

Forconi said wolf sightings have become an increasingly common lately after previously being a rare occurrence.

“The Sea Wolf” and “Assassination Bureau” was even better.

From reading accounts of fatal wolf attacks on humans, you are in serious trouble if attacked by a large pack of wolves and you aren't carrying something like a Siaga shotgun with a drum magazine.
