You know that post 323 about dogs?
Well, one time it was a wolf, or a wolf hybrid with yellow eyes, and it was a whole different ball game, for one thing it hid behind the gate and let me walk in without knowing it was there, I saw him in my peripheral vision and didn’t complete entering, but I had the real feeling that for the one and only time, I was being “allowed” in, like a trap.
That is an extremely creepy feeling when you know dogs and see something so uncharacteristic, and so intelligent, and almost effective.
I don’t know what he had in mind, but the whole time I was looking for him to break or change demeanor which was very focused, and serious, and quiet, and did I say quietly intense, with a single minded focus on me? He gave me the willies, I kept delaying and delaying attempting my final push, because I just kept getting the wrong signs and a bad feeling, when finally the homeowner came home, he told me how he ended up with a wolf, but I don’t remember the story.
I would not want to face a wolf pack, and I don’t just mean for the obvious reasons, but I would not want to have to see that look and demeanor, and intelligent focus
on 6 or 8 wolf faces, it is a strange feeling to be looked at by serious predators whose territory you are in and when you are being studied seriously, as prey.
The tunnel vision with which they are studying you, and the coldness of their thought process and eyes as they evaluate your position and capabilities, is unnerving.
I bet that some women and children, and weak men, submit to beasts of prey under some conditions.
