Rod Caster Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) 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.

solopaddler Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KraTToR Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 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?

Walleye72 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Wow!! That's terrible. He looked like a beauty. I hope you are feeling better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
