Wow, this one hunts down Cougars, and has dozens of Cougar captures and kills.

My uncles Enlgish Mastiff. Apparently he used to be the sweetest dog ever(which is understandable, as I find mastiffs to be that way in general), but snapped after an incident with a POS neighbor. The guy would set out claw traps to kill whatever he could catch in them. Well somehow Tank(the mastiff) ended up getting his head caught in one and they didn't find him till a few days later. The vet thinks a lack of oxygen to his brain changed his behavior.
Now he's sweet 90% of the time, but has been known to snap out of nowhere. They keep wanting me to meet him, but frick that. I've seen the way he growls at me and I know he can sense my fear.
Oh, and they ended up finding the bodies of something like 20+ dead dogs on that neighbors property. Can't remember if he said anything came of that or not. This is out in the country, btw, where everyone owns 30+ acres.
Here's the beast. I want to love him, but secretly await the day he passes so I can go to their house without fear. He'll full on latch onto the tire of your car if you pull up without one of the owners outside to stop him.

wolf/mastiff mix dogs
For a few years we had a lone wolf that lived near the Mendenhall Glacier. In winter, the wolf would come out on the lake ice and play with the local dogs. It was an amazing experience to see something wild interacting with domesticated dogs. There was never any doubt who was boss though

That's pretty awesome.
Any backstory on the wolf? Not sure if I should feel bad about him having to wait for friends to play with or not.
Eta: scrolled past the link and straight to the pictures on my first run through of your post. Carry on.

Romeo's mate died near the Glacier and he stayed near there for the rest of his life. He wasn't a member of a pack, just a lone wolf who indescribably took up with the local dogs and x-country skiers.
It was a real treat on winter evenings as the sun painted alpenglow on the higher peaks to hear Romeo calling, probably always looking for his mate.

I have so much envy for anyone who got to experience this. Did they ever look into the possibility of this being someone's pet at one point that escaped and survived out in the wild?

I would feel safe with him around.

That is the truth. I went to a neighboring town to pick up one of my football players before a game and passed his house. There were no more houses after his and the pavement ended and turned to a dirt road. Dead ended at a shack about 200 yards back where I had some room to turn around. There were at least 6 adult Rotts going ape shite around my vehicle while I was turning around. I am convinced they would have killed me had I stepped out of the car. I saw more teeth and heard more growling in that 45 second span than ever in my life combined.

Maybe he would be happier if they upgraded the carpet from builder grade?

No, he belonged to a pack that ran along Montana Creek. His mate died, he stayed in the area and abandoned the pack

Damn. I teared up a bit reading this

Read about Romeo awhile back. Gorgeous and incredible wolf.

It was really an amazing experience. We have a lot of wolves, but they are rarely sighted in the common places humans gather.

On that last pic; the tail of that lab says it all. It just needs "Come here, bitch" meme'd on it.

That is very interesting. But in reality, what is the likelihood of being able to do any of that?
You start shoving your arm in the back of a dogs throat all it will do is pull backwards to reposition its jaws not to mention all of the side to side thrashing.
The leg thing seems unlikely to execute as well against a 90-120 lb dog but more so than the arm in back of jaw technique. You would basically have one shot to grab the legs correctly and doing that with a moving target that is a very quick ball of muscle seems almost impossible to execute when it is in attack mode.
Seems like the easiest scenario would be to give the dog the weak arm close to your body so you could use your own weight and leverage to somehow pin the dog and use your free hand to eye gouge or testicle yank. Seems if you extend your arm you would create a degree of separation that would be hard to recover from giving that it would be pulling away and thrashing and tearing.

When my uncle was in Vietnam, he said they trained labs for tracker dogs because of all the water in the area...
Said it was the meanest dogs he's come across...

Probably the one that bit my braces off when I was in Junior High. Mean little Jack Russell Terrier.

When I lived in GA, my neighbor had this pit mix dog that was always aggressive. It was fine if one of its owners was around but it tried to start some shite if they were inside or something. One day that fricker got close to me and growled. I kicked the frick out of it... either in the gut or in the dick. After that day that son of a whore never got an attitude w/ me again.
My neighbor even commented something like "He must like you... he doesn't growl at you anymore."
