American Rifleman Issue: 7/1/2000
A wolf apparently targeted a 6-year-old boy playing near a logging camp in Icy Bay, Alaska, one chilly April morning. According to camper Teresa Thompson, the animal "was aware of the other people around him, but his whole intention was trying to take off with the little boy. He had literally picked the little boy off the ground." A camp carpenter and a dog finally came to the boy's rescue, chasing off the animal, but not before the boy suffered multiple bite wounds that later required stitches. The crazed animal returned 10 minutes later, but this time Thompson's husband dispatched it with a gun. Alaska Fish and Game Department officials said they were unaware of similar incidents anywhere in North America and sent off the animal's head for rabies testing.
