Most Vicious Wolf Attacks on Dogs

   *A Haines woman beat back a wolf with a ski pole but was unable to keep it from killing and devouring one of four dogs she was walking with during a midday ordeal near 40 Mile Haines Highway. Hannah Bochart, 24, said she never felt threatened during the attack and said the wolf looked tired and desperate but determined. "She was making a wide circle, and she was able to move faster than us in the snow," she said.

*From her family home at 39 Mile, Bochart set out on snowshoes at around noon March 5 for her daily walk across the Klehini River. She usually takes two family dogs, Mason and Tuphor, but on this trip also was accompanied by her sister's two smaller dogs, Okum and Little Bear. While crossing the river, Bochart spotted a large, gray wolf with a black mask and black stripe down its back, about a half-mile downriver. The wolf spotted them, trotted toward them a distance in a snowmachine track and sat down in the snow. "I was going to give (the wolf) her space. I was thinking of protecting her (from the dogs), so I headed back (to the house)."...
