Quite the brutal sight. ugh.

 

Lots of 'what ifs'...we should have tied him up when we heard the brush wolves (coyote/eastern wolf mix) howling. But I had no idea the bit Timberwolves were around, and clearly very hungry. Blood and fur all over my lawn in the morning. They literally ate him to the bone.

 

He's scrapped it out with single wolves and coyotes before and scared them off, but this time they had a clear and hungry agenda.

 

He was one hell of a property dog, tough as nails to other animals and super nice to all people. One of the risks of living in the bush and keeping an outdoor dog, I guess. Later Buddy.

Wow that's horrible! Have heard of this happening a number of times over the years, it's always a risk. From one dog lover to another you guys have my sympathies. That's a tough way to lose a dog.

Man that sucks!!! :(

It's one of the things I worry about when I have my pooch out at the lake.

There are plenty of wolves and bears in the area.

My neighbour told me he saw a dozen on the ice there this past winter.

Every time he goes off exploring I worry.

Usually he just walks up to the neighbours cabin 300 yards away but he has gone close to a mile around the bay before.

From the pictures I believe I see a yellow lab. Fiercely loyal and amazing companion. Smart as heck, strong as an ox yet gentle. I've known many..

 

May he always be in your thoughts as he was doing his duty by protecting what meant most to him. And he died a good death. Brave and strong protecting his family.

 

What was his name?

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

 

He definitely died trying to protect us/his home.

 

He was a Siberian husky mix; went from sled dog for 4 years to family dog for 2. His name was Buddy. I think ill name the next dog "pal" in his honour :)

So sorry for your loss. What a horrible thing to happen! I'm sure Buddy was a member of the family just like my 2 are. Can't imagine something like that happening to one of my boys. Thoughts are with you.
