Wolf Attacks Woman's Dog in Lake Forest

A 100+-pound grey wolf attacked a pet in Lake Forest last month, a local resident told MySuburbanLife.com.

In the early morning hours of March 11, Mary Kong let out her two dogs in her fenced backyard but one came running back immediately. While using a flashlight to search for Scottie, a 17-pound mixed former shelter dog, Kong spotted what she says was a 100- to 120-pound grey wolf.

“He had Scottie all the way in his jaw, both sides,” Kong said.

The animal dropped Scottie upon being noticed and Kong was able to guide herself and both dogs back to safety fairly quick.

Thankfully, Scottie has made a full recovery. He suffered two deep lacerations on either side of his chest.

Since the attack, Kong says some neighbors have reported seeing an animal that resembles the one she describes and another neighbor has reported hearing what seemed to be a wolf.

Since wolves are protected animals, nothing can be done by any law enforcement agency, but Kong told the publication it’s important to let as many residents with children or pets know about what happened.
