Does it look like the dog gets an electric shock? Or hits a "invisible" wire that nudges him in the opposit direction of his jump

One of the wolves is wagging its tail and bowing. They were playing. Dog was not running full pelt either.

Hey, you know how that looks like a fairly small dog? It’s not, wolves are huge.

They look like coyotes to be honest. Also bigger than people expect.
QuiteBitterBeing
Those are coyotes most likely.
Depends on the wolves, dude. In various countries & climates they're 50lbs. That looks like an ACD so they're probably 80-90
MadeYouLookAgain
These look like coyotes. Very pointy snout and they all are basically the same color. Wolves usually vary in colors from one to another.IMHO

How about no? If you have a rifle, maybe. But im not about to run in, fists blazing, like some kangaroo just punched my dog.
Who says you have to charge in? Make loud noises, scream, smash things

So you go to save your dog, and your dog in turn goes into defense mode and ends up being killed trying to protect you. That’s much better.

Nah a few close scrapes with all except coyotes, those cowards. Although I'm guessing one killed my cat.
Toan914
Could be wrong, but from the tail wagging and the general posturing it looks like they are playing, I have seen pack dogs hunt if they 1/?
Wanted to get him, he would have been gotten.2/2
Wolves hunting dogs look like they are playing. They toy around with it and then it gets serious fast. The found footage of hunting dogs w/
cams who get attacked by wolves look EXACTLY like this.
I think it's b/c they're unsure, so they are hesitant, dodging, jumping back etc uncertainly, and it looks like play.
Kaptah
From a Finnish newspaper today: Hunters dog was being eaten alive by 3 wolves. Warning shot with a rifle didn't scare off the wolves. 1/3
He had to shoot at one the wolves to get the rest to back off. Both dog and wolf died. The hunter is being investigated for a hunting crime.
TacoBellBody
Dog died how?
Deadmanwalkn
I'm just spitballing here, but maybe it was...idk...from being attacked by fucking wolves?
PandaLove8
It sounds like it was a wolf attack
From injuries suffered in the wolf attack.
since wolves are classified as endangered in Finland. Most likely he will not get sentenced since he was protecting his property (dog). 3/3
Nikarion
If I saw my dog attacked by any wildlife, endangered or otherwise, I'd have gunned down the entire pack if needed. Nobody touches my family.
Although my reaction would probably be the same, hunters do take a knowing risk when they use hunting dogs here.
Might not be their dog, it was on the other side of the fence. They could have seen it quick and thought it was a fox.
And just what colour are foxes?! Are U colour blind.
Blonde, black, grey, red, brown.
Reddish orange, very similar to the dog. There are many colors of foxes. Don't be a bitch just to be a bitch.
Whose the bitch now. Just in what country are they that colour? YOU are an authority or a meaningful wiseass?
Still you. And the entire northern hemisphere. I'm not an authority no, I've just seen them with my own eyes.

There are many rifles with nice optics that would turn a wolf inside out at that range. One dead would likely scatter the rest

If you live in a place where there are literal wolf packs chasing your dog, you better have one
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
My first thought is to blast noise from my phone and start running at them.
StrayPenguin
I’d have to take a go at least. No way could I watch my little one get killed. Granted... I’d die. Hopefully saving a dog.
Good skills to the dog though! Nicely played!
dontlookdownclown
Dude I’ll get downvoted but if that’s my dog I’m shooting wolves..
Fashion a shotgun shell to the end of a stick and jab it into the wolf.
Kalicula
Most wolves are terrified of humans as they should be.
TakeTheStairs
and you know this from all of your run-ins with packs of wolves out in the wild?
I know from my uncle who drove 3 off from his dog. Ran all them, yelling and screaming like a madman. Wolves took one look and bolted.
A single, well-fed wolf is terrified of humans. But I wouldn't mess with a pack that's hunting.
Tobecontinued1992
Think three wolves is enough for them to be confidence to take down a human.
Faerinn
I'm sure they aren't when they're a hungry pack. I bet they'd love to chow down on one of us long pigs
vstubbs42
Most wolves alive today are descendants of those that were scared of humans. The others usually got themselves killed sooner or later.
RunsWithScizrs
Only three confirmed cases of deaths by wolves in North America, ever. Bet your ass I'd be running to save my dog.
bluecollarbiochemist
Less than 5 confirmed attacks by healthy wolves on humans in North America since European colonization. Guns quickly knocked out their spunk
Guns of course! But not running at it waving your arms in the middle of a hunt.

Seriously even it you shoot you couod hit the dog or scare it into them, dumb AF *SaVe ThE DoG" im not having my family lose me over a dog
EveryBodyLovesMe
Good grief. Here we go again. Do not try to argue here about a dogs life being worth more than your own. Bc they won’t accept that.
Fine, don't do anything 2 save the dog, that's your decision but at least don't record your dog possibly being killed. That's horrible!
TheRealPumpkinQueen
The sound... the sound will startle them all. Wild animals will run from the sound of gunfire. Shoot it in the air
No they don't in areas with alot if gunfire, alsk just as likely to scare dog into the wolves, have yiu ever hunted or lived around wolves?
Yes to both, guns scared them off
My uncle has. Scared off a pack chasing his dog by running at them yelling and screaming. They bolted.
maximus5000
That's because you think you're more important to your family than the dog
I am.
PlayingWithDynamite
Is that not true?
Depends on the person
JHawke
I won't judge you for that call but err, wouldn't hitting the dog be both a very very small risk and well.. the dogs chances are close to >

Low chance? How much do you shoot?
3 Times, but in general that was convincing enough to know that while it's a tad hard to actually hit the wolves, hitting the dog would >

"The Grey" is insane and wildlife biologists want to pull it.
ASnugglyPugly
Liam Neeson didnt save shit in that move, 'cept his dignity, dude went out like a BAMF
I love how half of these people are encouraging charging a pack of wolves while "looking big" and yelling. TBQH I'm not testing that.
That's fine. It worked for my uncle. Saved his dog.
Didn't work on a hawk going after my birds, so I doubt it will work on a pack of hungry wolves. I'm just grabbing my gun. Guns always work
Well thats not a comment you see on imgur too often
Seriously dude?
Well... yeah. I'm not charging a predator, that's foolish. I'm finna use long range and not get mauled.
DonalDangerMaher
Exactly. Let's go give the wolves a stern talking to. I'm sure they'll apologise and return to their den with tails between legs.
Blud4BludGod
Run up, put your hands over your head so you look bigger, shout as loud as you can, gesture threateningly. Pick up and throw some rocks...
...if any are handy. They will scatter. Also those look a lot more like coyotes than wolves, which means even more likely to work
Humpday0437
Not the coyotes from where I am from. It's a huge problem for us, they will attack about anything and don't give a shit about loud sounds.
Trip in the snow, fall, get knocked out, savaged, dead.
Yeah? They gonna get you from the other side of that electric fence that they can't figure out how to chase the dog through?
Luciuslucullus
Surprisingly, perhaps, that would be sufficient. Wolves are intelligent, they won't mess with a big loud human.
A PACK in hunt? Yeah you've never been around wolves
Like one wolf, sure. But when they outnumber you they'll probably realize they can take you out. Like you said, they're hella smart
Supposedly works with cougars, bears and other predators, but, I wouldn't be in a hurry to test the hypothesis. I love dogs, but prefer life
It works on a single predator, most of the time. Not a pack.
Beezlebubble
A single wolf I would be somewhat willing to test if needed. A pack, hunting? Nah...
OldJedi
A rifle.
TakamiStitches
Remember that video of the dude taking on a kangaroo that had his dog? I'm sure thatd work again /s
BarDown89

masshandler3
That's easy, you let the wolves eat you to let the dog get away. It's not rocket science Einstein!
sc363
Legit, you can scare them off as long as they haven't been acclimated to humans. Loud noise or fire will do the trick
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Grab a big stick or branch, wave it around and yell.

Dunno in America, but in Europe, and Italy there, I'm not sure many people own a gun. Especially not photographers (watermark on the video).

Somehow i'm doubting that Iceland with your supposed number of 1 in 3 people owning a gun is the lowest per capita in europe...
pookieeatworld
Wut...
TCGreen
I'd actually shoot at the ground, not the air, since it is safer. But yeah, the loud bang of gunfire usually scares them off.
CM0RDuck
If you are in an area like that, you probably own a firearm. Fire it into the sky to scare them
AlphaIndustrial
Scaring them would work. But they know there's food around that part now.
Xeddius
Unless you are firing blanks or aiming straight up that's a really bad idea. There was a bullet hole in the wall of my uncles apt from that.
BBQBourbonAndBeer
Only shoot the sky with a shotgun. Rifle bullets follow a parabolic arc and can give wicked distance. Rifle and pistol should be fired ...
Shoot a gun off would likely scare the wolves away.
Or scare the dog into them
Hebbelille

I dont think that works with a pack of hunting wolves tbh
It would, actually. Even in a small pack, if a human charges at them, yelling a d screaming, they will bolt.

It still is a very dificult shot and there's a chance you kill/wound your dog and gift those wolfs the easiest meal they've ever had.
RayzorHero
......tell me how. Honest question
Thetruthmakesmesad
There are many rifles with nice optics that would turn a wolf inside out at that range. One dead would likely scatter the rest

Rifle.

Chances are you have a rifle if you are living where wolves are near

If you live in a place where there are literal wolf packs chasing your dog, you better have one
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
My first thought is to blast noise from my phone and start running at them.
StrayPenguin
I’d have to take a go at least. No way could I watch my little one get killed. Granted... I’d die. Hopefully saving a dog.
StrayPenguin
Good skills to the dog though! Nicely played!
dontlookdownclown
Dude I’ll get downvoted but if that’s my dog I’m shooting wolves..
billycakers
Fashion a shotgun shell to the end of a stick and jab it into the wolf.
Kalicula
Most wolves are terrified of humans as they should be.
TakeTheStairs
and you know this from all of your run-ins with packs of wolves out in the wild?
TrueNorthernLights
I know from my uncle who drove 3 off from his dog. Ran all them, yelling and screaming like a madman. Wolves took one look and bolted.
MagicalMrE0311
A single, well-fed wolf is terrified of humans. But I wouldn't mess with a pack that's hunting.
Tobecontinued1992
Think three wolves is enough for them to be confidence to take down a human.
Faerinn
I'm sure they aren't when they're a hungry pack. I bet they'd love to chow down on one of us long pigs
vstubbs42
Most wolves alive today are descendants of those that were scared of humans. The others usually got themselves killed sooner or later.
RunsWithScizrs
Only three confirmed cases of deaths by wolves in North America, ever. Bet your ass I'd be running to save my dog.
bluecollarbiochemist
Less than 5 confirmed attacks by healthy wolves on humans in North America since European colonization. Guns quickly knocked out their spunk
Faerinn
Guns of course! But not running at it waving your arms in the middle of a hunt.
Thor400
With the rifle u need to carry when bringing your dog to coyote country
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
Big stick.
SomeCommenter
Seriously even it you shoot you couod hit the dog or scare it into them, dumb AF *SaVe ThE DoG" im not having my family lose me over a dog
EveryBodyLovesMe
Good grief. Here we go again. Do not try to argue here about a dogs life being worth more than your own. Bc they won’t accept that.
momma2elevencats
Fine, don't do anything 2 save the dog, that's your decision but at least don't record your dog possibly being killed. That's horrible!
TheRealPumpkinQueen
The sound... the sound will startle them all. Wild animals will run from the sound of gunfire. Shoot it in the air
SomeCommenter
No they don't in areas with alot if gunfire, alsk just as likely to scare dog into the wolves, have yiu ever hunted or lived around wolves?
TheRealPumpkinQueen
Yes to both, guns scared them off
TrueNorthernLights
My uncle has. Scared off a pack chasing his dog by running at them yelling and screaming. They bolted.
maximus5000
That's because you think you're more important to your family than the dog
SomeCommenter
I am.
PlayingWithDynamite
Is that not true?
maximus5000
Depends on the person
JHawke
I won't judge you for that call but err, wouldn't hitting the dog be both a very very small risk and well.. the dogs chances are close to >
JHawke
> fucked anyway. I'd say take the shot, worst case scenario you fail.
SomeCommenter
Low chance? How much do you shoot?
JHawke
3 Times, but in general that was convincing enough to know that while it's a tad hard to actually hit the wolves, hitting the dog would >

Watch " The Grey" Liam Neesom will show you.
Bludabeagle
Yeah.....did you see the end??!!!
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Ok so I got “tape mini bottles of alcohol to hands” and then “cut to black”. Here I go, wish me luck.
ackley2808
You got this, go for it.???
TrueNorthernLights
"The Grey" is insane and wildlife biologists want to pull it.
ASnugglyPugly
Liam Neeson didnt save shit in that move, 'cept his dignity, dude went out like a BAMF
Faerinn
I love how half of these people are encouraging charging a pack of wolves while "looking big" and yelling. TBQH I'm not testing that.
TrueNorthernLights
That's fine. It worked for my uncle. Saved his dog.
Faerinn
Didn't work on a hawk going after my birds, so I doubt it will work on a pack of hungry wolves. I'm just grabbing my gun. Guns always work
PlayingWithDynamite
Well thats not a comment you see on imgur too often
TrueNorthernLights
Seriously dude?
Faerinn
Well... yeah. I'm not charging a predator, that's foolish. I'm finna use long range and not get mauled.
DonalDangerMaher
Exactly. Let's go give the wolves a stern talking to. I'm sure they'll apologise and return to their den with tails between legs.
Blud4BludGod
Run up, put your hands over your head so you look bigger, shout as loud as you can, gesture threateningly. Pick up and throw some rocks...
Blud4BludGod
...if any are handy. They will scatter. Also those look a lot more like coyotes than wolves, which means even more likely to work
Humpday0437
Not the coyotes from where I am from. It's a huge problem for us, they will attack about anything and don't give a shit about loud sounds.
DonalDangerMaher
Trip in the snow, fall, get knocked out, savaged, dead.
Blud4BludGod
Yeah? They gonna get you from the other side of that electric fence that they can't figure out how to chase the dog through?
Luciuslucullus
Surprisingly, perhaps, that would be sufficient. Wolves are intelligent, they won't mess with a big loud human.
SomeCommenter
A PACK in hunt? Yeah you've never been around wolves
Faerinn
Like one wolf, sure. But when they outnumber you they'll probably realize they can take you out. Like you said, they're hella smart
DonalDangerMaher
Supposedly works with cougars, bears and other predators, but, I wouldn't be in a hurry to test the hypothesis. I love dogs, but prefer life
QuiteBitterBeing
It works on a single predator, most of the time. Not a pack.
Beezlebubble
A single wolf I would be somewhat willing to test if needed. A pack, hunting? Nah...
OldJedi
A rifle.
TakamiStitches
Remember that video of the dude taking on a kangaroo that had his dog? I'm sure thatd work again /s
BarDown89
A .22 would be enough
masshandler3
That's easy, you let the wolves eat you to let the dog get away. It's not rocket science Einstein!
sc363
Legit, you can scare them off as long as they haven't been acclimated to humans. Loud noise or fire will do the trick
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Grab a big stick or branch, wave it around and yell.
nch77
Rifle?
Whowhywhatwhere
You own a gun living out their pop one in the air
Bludabeagle
Fire OFF A Shot!!! Once Dog clears......kill da rest and mount their heads!!!
UserSubmitter
Here in Texas its illegal even if on your own property since the shot could land anywhere.
KarateCanine
Fuck that. Shoot the lead wolf. I would shoot anything and anyone to save my dog.
hildr
Dunno in America, but in Europe, and Italy there, I'm not sure many people own a gun. Especially not photographers (watermark on the video).
blaghart
you realize literally every european country has hundreds of thousands of gun owners yea? The lowest gun ownership is Iceland at 100k or so
Gadvance
Somehow i'm doubting that Iceland with your supposed number of 1 in 3 people owning a gun is the lowest per capita in europe...
pookieeatworld
Wut...
TCGreen
I'd actually shoot at the ground, not the air, since it is safer. But yeah, the loud bang of gunfire usually scares them off.
CM0RDuck
If you are in an area like that, you probably own a firearm. Fire it into the sky to scare them
AlphaIndustrial
Scaring them would work. But they know there's food around that part now.
Xeddius
Unless you are firing blanks or aiming straight up that's a really bad idea. There was a bullet hole in the wall of my uncles apt from that.
BBQBourbonAndBeer
Only shoot the sky with a shotgun. Rifle bullets follow a parabolic arc and can give wicked distance. Rifle and pistol should be fired ...
TCGreen
Shoot a gun off would likely scare the wolves away.
SomeCommenter
Or scare the dog into them
Hebbelille
Lots of sound and flailing
Clayman8
Ah. My morning wake up routine then.
Iwontdoitunlessido
Ah yes, dinner and a show.
QuiteBitterBeing
That wont work on a pack.
TrueNorthernLights
Actually, it will.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
guns would
QuiteBitterBeing
No fuckin shit, that wasn't the topic. But thanks for shoehorning in that you have a hard-on for firearms.
Schmong
I dont think that works with a pack of hunting wolves tbh
TrueNorthernLights
It would, actually. Even in a small pack, if a human charges at them, yelling a d screaming, they will bolt.
Wmcmwa
Ah so just like having sex?

Yes but without the crying

Glad to have made your day, your week, your month or even, and I'll admit this one is a bit of a stretch, your year
shoopi12
What do you flail exactly during sex?
HillCountryRambler
What don't YOU flail? Have you ever even been able to do some sex? Probably not.
Wmcmwa
My... looks at notes... ponus
StonesOnTheHill
Hunters don't like anything even close to a fair fight. If you can run up at all, odds are they'd at least pause to figure you out.

note: "hunters" as in anything that hunts, wolves included
