Tense moments as German Shepherd leaps from vehicle to chase wolf in Yellowstone
A group of tourists witnessed an extraordinary scene in Yellowstone National Park on Friday as a German Shepherd leaped from the back of a vehicle to chase a young wolf on the side of a road.
Dogs are allowed in the park on the condition that their owners maintain "physical control" over them at all times, and this incident underscores the reasoning for that rule.
MacNeil Lyons of Yellowstone Insight described what happened via Instagram, explaining that the wolf had been trying to access an animal carcass across the highway despite a large presence of tourists who were observing the wolf from the highway.
'There was a carcass hidden to one side of the roadway and the wolf was trying to navigate a safe road crossing, through the people and traffic, to the food source,' Lyons explained.
'Many people were already out of their vehicles and this smart wolf began walking off the road edge, paralleling it, just to get past people.
'The car with the dog was driving slowly, assessing the situation. I am not sure if the dog stepped on the back window button to open it, or if the window was already open.
'As the car passed the wolf, the dog leaped out from the car and ran full sprint towards the wolf. Once the wolf saw the Shepherd, it began loping away which switched to a faster gait down the road.'
Ultimately, the wolf stopped and faced the German Shepherd, which subsequently stopped. They were in a standoff about 15 feet apart before the driver of the vehicle reversed to where he could call and collect his dog.
Lyons added: 'The yearling gray wolf seemed a bit shook up, but quickly kept on its mission to circumnavigate the people and eventually swim the Yellowstone River to obtain its breakfast.'
According to park regulations, tourists must stay at least 100 yards from wolves and bears if they're outside their vehicles.
