a 115lb woman can kill a 115lb wolf that is killing her dog

How interesting. I haven't been aware of an epidemic of wolves eating housepets. The last I heard, they were endangered in the lower 48 states, and totally missing in Hawaii.

However, if a wolf ever were to come careening out of the trees and pounce on a that lady's dog, I do not doubt that firing a gun at the wolf would at least get the wolf's attention. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
