Its a territory thing. Lupines hate Canines and vice versa. The Wolves saw the dogs as intruders hunting in their territory and took care of the problem. Wolves are NOT NICE CRITTERS. They are predators. Just as large cats are.
This is the reason when I got hunting I carry my shot gun or rifle and a .45 semi-auto. I also don't use hunting dogs unless going for quail or Pheasant. Bear hunting ain't my thing.

Yes, I find it utterly bizarre that people would want wolf-dog hybrids as pets. We spend thousands of years breeding juvenile traits into our dogs and some people want to go back and own a wolf. Their personalities are more . . . hair-trigger, I guess. More aggressive and nervous, plus the additional problem of them wanting to patrol square miles of territory. I like wolves out in the wilderness but absolutely not as pets.

Wolves are NOT NICE CRITTERS. They are predators. Just as large cats are. The same could and should be said of humans.
Personally I'd rather be thought of as a "Not Nice Critter" than as food.
