Plum TV videographers Justin Ross and Tyler Hendricks were shooting a pair of wolves guarding an elk kill from a pair of coyotes last Thursday in the Greenhorn Subdivision when the remarkable occurred.  A lone black wolf, only 150 yards from the road, was fixated for nearly 30 minutes on three Alaskan Malamutes in the backyard of a Greenhorn home. The wolf finally got the nerve to jump the fence and immediately the three Malamutes of equal size converged on the wolf who put her tail between her legs and jumped back over the fence.

Watch this exciting footage in the attached video.

Although some studies dispute the findings, most agree that all domestic breeds of dogs are descendants of the grey wolf. On March 6, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar affirmed the decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species list in all states with the exception of Wyoming. It is estimated that there are 1,600 wolves in the U.S. Rockies.
