Wild Dogs Not Wolves Attacked Dog

A dog owner in Wallace, Idaho says on Wednesday evening he came outside to find his 12-year-old Rottweiler that was chained up in the yard being attacked by what he thought was a pack of wolves. His wife scared them off by shooting a gun into the hills, but not before the dog suffered a large cut to it's head. An officer with Idaho Fish and Game came out to the home to investigate the attack, but could find no evidence that it came from a wolf "He found a lot of tracks in the area, they were dog tracks," said Phil Cooper, Idaho Fish and Game. "He was not able to find wolf tracks in the area"/Mike Perry, KHQ. More here.
