Great Danes lick wrought iron heating grates... At least mine does.
I think I have a pic at home, but I'm at work.
Edit: wait, here's one. Not of the grate-licking though.

That wolf/dog is cool, I hope you have him for a long time.
In every photo I have seen, he has that sobering stare. Looks like he has just finished eating something, or is getting ready to....in most photos also. Does he play any?

He plays a lot, and he's inclined to let other dogs know how to play nice. He chases/catches/runs, but doesn't fetch. Doesn't care to swim, either.I know lab owners whose comment was he's the most serene animal they've ever known.

Fine animal, you're a lucky man. I'm glad "circumstance" put the two of you together.

Whoa.
That's not cool.I've seen several wolves in the wild before. Never in a situation where I would be worried. Now that's got me thinking, because they're smarter than anything else around here.
It will be interesting get some followup and see if they conclude that it was, in fact, a wolf attack. One of the caveats has always been, when they refer to the paucity of wild wolf attacks, a reference to "non-rabid." But, regardless of what it actually ends up being, it would still be the exception that proves the rule. A friend of mine from Colorado and I were just yesterday talking about the two cougar attacks in Boulder in the last year or so. He said one was fatal, one not. Cat and bear attacks are commonplace, but so many folks are just sure that wolves pose the greater threat.
my shorthair when she was just a pup.. It's amazing how much darker she is now..
There all cool but can they drive like me?
Don't touch that door either mate..LOL 
These attacks have been reported as very unusual. They have killed one of the wolves in the area and are doing dna tests on the contents of its stomach. It may be that humans have seriously encroached on the wolves' territory. The wolves have become unafraid of humans but probably view them as prey like anything else (a caribou is even larger than a human). No determination has been made as to whether the wolves were in bad health.IDave said:
I have complete respect for these animals. We are invading their territory. A few years ago a friend of mine had to kill a wolf while crossing an ice road into a gold mine. The poor creature had been caught in a leg-hold trap (or something). It escaped but was severely crippled and had obviously not eaten in some time. My friend said it was heart-breaking but he had to put the wolf out of its misery.
Here we have an "experimental" population of wolves, and Idaho now has between 500 and 1000, depending on the level of paranoia behind the reporting. Wolves that prey on livestock are usually taken out. A pair was killed two weeks ago within about 10 miles of my home after presumably killing calves at a local ranch. I say presumably, because from the very beginning of introduction 10 years ago, the rabid haters have been setting up situations to implicate wolves to get them exterminated, and it is hard to know the truth of any situation. The first calf "kill" following introduction was proven later to be a stillborn that was laid out to draw in wolves. Last year, an entire pack was eliminated from my hunting area, because they were blamed for killing nearly 100 untended sheep one night. For some reason, the sheep that were supposedly slaughtered had somehow "decomposed" to the point of being uncountable 3 days after the event. But since nothing else "decomposes" that fast in our high mountain air, I have to believe the sheep were already dead.
