On May 27th in Clark County, a male bluetick coonhound was attacked by a large canid. Investigations indicated the dog may have been attacked by wolf or wolves, although no pack is known to live in the area, and no wolf sign was found at the site. It appeared that a wolf, wolf -dog hybrid or large dog, came into the yard and attacked the dog. The Department will treat this as a possible wolf attack.  More information is available on the gray wolf webpage.
