You are absolutely right. They are devious and resourceful and know when to retreat. I had some very good posts after my Sunday morning awakening from people who had first hand knowledge. It seems they lure a dog with just one of theirs while others are lurking, then surround their prey attacking from all sides. Not even a GSD would have a chance. I was also told that they do jump fences or are bold enough to enter through a doggie door. Am glad I don't have puppies right now.

If a dog runs a bear off, that bear is not a coward.
