The wolf was trying to befriend the women.
There has never been a documented case of a wolf killing a human.......blah, blah, blah

It just wanted to run with her. LOL
When it comes to animals, libs always remind me of the dippy scientist in “The Thing” (original version) where he goes up to the creature and says beseechingly:
“I know you are of a higher intelligence than us.”.....WHAM!! The Thing’ (James Arness) brains him with a 4 x 4. Fitting.
That’s true, you have to be aware of your surroundings when you’re in an animal’s territory, whether it’s beast or human, but it was probably more interested in her dog. Of course, if I was going to be hiking in an area that was home to wolves & bears, I’d bring more protection than a beer.
I’m not saying wolves never attack humans, but on the list of animal attacks they are quite a ways down on the list. I think the wolf was more interested in her pooch, Joey. Of course, if I was hiking in wolf & bear country, I would bring along more protection than just a beer and leave my dog at home.
A friend of mine bought one years back. Got a nice scope ring on his face first time he shot it. I said, “Norm, it’s a .308 and the rifle doesn’t weigh anything. Don’t you know better?”
Dittos to that Caliber/Cartridge combo for any of us living up in the mountains and around those animals.
She was sorry she did not have a full six pack.
FTA: they came upon a lake and felt saved, partly by one of the only things that she had brought along with her- a can of beer. “I had brought one can of beer with me. Silly choice,” she explained. “That little can of beer ended up saving my life.”
