I guy I work with was telling me this story. I just couldn't believe it!
We live up in the upper penninsula of Michigan. It's quite wild and remote up here.
Bob's brother has a very big malamute/wolf mix. One day Bob went outside and saw his brother's dog (I can't remember his name so I'll call him "Benji") running across an open field without his collar on. He called, but Benji didn't come, so he went out into the field to catch him. Benji's usually really good and not at all difficult to catch, so Bob was really surprised when, every time he got close enough to grab him, Benji ran ahead just out of his reach. He just kept running around and every once in a while, he'd look back at Bob like Bob was nuts or something. Bob would dive for him and tried bribing him with a treat, etc. They kept this up for about 45 minutes before Bob finally threw in the towel and went home and phoned his brother. He said "Hey - I just spent 45 minutes chasing your dog across a field. I couldn't catch him." Bob's brother said "No you didn't, my dog has been sitting here with me all afternoon!"
You guessed it. Bob was chasing a very large, fully-grown wolf across the field!
I hate to imagine what would have happened if he had actually caught him!
