I've just reecently read about Romeo, the Black Wolf of Jueneau. I can see that it was he who made the approach towards your group. But I kinda thought that dogs shouldn't be allowed to play with him?

[dnclemans]

Excellent point. Him approaching us like that really took us by surprise. We weren't sure what to do so we called our dogs to us but at the same time we didn't want to run and encourage a chase. You can't tell from the video but we backed away slowly.

That is one docile wolf. O.O I can just imagine it going like this: "Hey, mom! This big black wild wolf followed us home! Can we keep him?"

@dnclemans: Its weird how the dogs didn't find him to be threatening. They just followed him around like "hey buddy wanna play?"

I understand the danger of the situation, since if he became too familiar with people he could get into some trouble with people who would really have a problem with his proximity.. but this just melts my heart :) He's not getting too excited, his play with the dogs isn't rough, and he generally keeps a respectful distance, so he's still being a wolf. That's a big step for a wolf to be so tolerant. With the right kinds of people, I think it's a dream come true. I hope you enjoyed the experience.

I almost had a heartattack several times in this video lol i can't imagine how i'd be in person, esp with my dogs they don't like other dogs, they'd be minced meat

This just shows how screwed up our society is and as for the comment below that says this is no big deal that wolves are killed all the time,,, people like you are killing this Country ! This was

something if your lucky will happen once in a life time. A beautiful animal is killed for what ? A few dollars for his pelt your a disgrace same as the scum who shot him. People like you are whats wrong with this country today and I just hope they got more than a slap on the wrist . RIP Romeo

@dnclemans

Bull shi'ite!

Maybe it wasn't you, but the word is all over the place that many people were feeding him.

I suggest you read Barry Lopez' 1986 classic: "Of Wolves and Men;" when wild critters and humans get too familiar it can only end in tears. The end of this affair was all too predictable.

@SirButtfuckingham if there's one thing this comment teaches me is that, people like you dont get laid.
