#wolf-attack

I don't know why I was not scared. I don't know this. I said my scare part of my brain is not well developed or something. No, I wasn't scared. It didn't taint me because I didn't see it inside my house. It's very interesting that it was in my kitchen. It was more interesting than scary.

An unnamed tourist saw it and told Aidan Moore, who works for Alcatraz City Cruises. Moore told SFGATE that he was initially skeptical, but the guest's iPhone footage left little room for doubt. The video shows, not a sea lion or an otter, but an actual Canis latrans, doggedly dogpaddling, then clambering out of the water, noticeably shaky and struggling to settle tired paws on the craggy rocks.

My shih tzu was a bright light and just fun and funny and had a great personality and everyone loved and adored him. Losing a dog is always hard, but when it's such a sweet soul like he was, it's especially hard.

Juha Kujala no longer knows how many reindeer will return to his farm from the forest each December. The 54-year-old herder releases his animals into the wilderness on the 830-mile Finnish-Russian border each spring to grow fat on lichens, grass and mushrooms, just as his ancestors have done for generations. But since 2022, grisly discoveries of reindeer skeletons on the forest floor have disrupted this ancient way of life.

The wolves arrived in May of last year, just days after Paul Roen had driven his cattle back up to their summer pasture in Northern California's Sierra Valley. He started finding the bleeding bodies of calves-some still alive, so badly paralyzed that they'd need to be shot. After weeks of this, Roen finally saw a kill himself. "One wolf grabbed a cow and spun her around, while another grabbed a calf," he told me. "He tore it into three pieces in 30 seconds."

At least four people called 911 about 4:45 p.m. Thursday and reported that a dog was being dragged behind a van headed west on Sonoma Avenue, away from Farmers Lane, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Patricia Seffens said Tuesday. The animal, which had been attached by a rope to the interior back of the van, detached from the van near Midway Drive and some callers stopped there to wait for police.
