We don't have any dangerous snakes, insects ect to worry about around here, but I've had the experience of one of my dogs being attacked by a wild animal. Hobo just barely survived a wolf attack. I know of only 2 other dogs who have survived what he went through. I would not hesitate to kill a wolf on my property. A wolf out roaming around in the forest or even just outside of my fence is a different thing. I don't agree with many predator control programs aimed at wolves ect, but a wolf in my yard thinking my dogs are it's dinner, is dead. I actually chased one out of my driveway in February. Hopefully, I scared her enough that she stays gone.

Moose are extremely dangerous to dog teams and won't hesitate to wade into the middle of a full team and start kicking. We've never run into an aggressive moose and I hope we never do. I'm not sure what I would if we did run into one as I don't carry a gun on the sled(lots of mushers do). I'm not a good enough shot for that. I do carry an axe and I think if I had to, I'd use it to defend my dogs.
