Someone called the police and said I had a wolf hybrid of some sort, with inadequate fencing. Seriously ???? LOL
The police in town know my dog so it was a humorous call to my house, but they had to come by nonetheless. Was not anyone on my block as they all know and like Valor. All the kids play in the dead end and are in and out of my pool. So it was not any of them. Must have been a passing dog walker (a few turn down my dead end to walk their dogs)
We get that sorted. That was actually like 3 weeks ago. Someone called AGAIN and was asking if wolf dogs were allowed in town. Cops called me about it, said they told the complainer they know the dog and it is licensed etc etc.
THEN..we are all in the yard and I am watching a mylar balloon dance around the transformer behind my house. Had called public service and they were on their way.
SUDDENLY a giant raptor with a leather tether and bright yellow band around his giant clawed leg starts DIVE BOMBING my kids ?!?!?! Valor rushed up barking and snapping, bird swoops away, sits on top of pole for a few seconds watching my dog go spare, flies away and disappears.
So I call the police and tell them about it. They think I am joking because of the wolf thing. No, dude..seriously...call Medieval Times which is like less than a mile away and ask IF THEY ARE MISSING A GIANT TRAINED RAPTOR PLEASE. lolol
Called all around the local sanctuaries etc. How weird! I mean I live next to Newark NJ. We of course have falcons and eagles but this thing was seriously large and obviously distressed. I mean, it must depend on people for food so maybe that is why he was swooping down on the kids? They had hotdogs in their hands. He never got close to them (maybe 10ft above them or more) of course my 11 year old claims she felt talons on her head lol
I am just running a North American urban sanctuary here aren't I ? lol
My 10 year old and his wolf. Fence is 48" high at the peak.
