Reminds me of the story related by one of my fishing partners this past week. He has a neighbor girl who has always loved horse riding. She's in college now and has her summer dream job as a wrangler on a ranch in Montana, working with a cattle herding dog. She spends the summer with her horse, the dog, and a herd of cattle. Apparently the presence of a horseback wrangler keeps the wolves away. She has seen wolves, but they see her and the herd dog, and they haven't lost so much as a single calf to the wolves. I thought it is a cool story. Maybe you do too.
