Wolves kill dog

Residents urged to keep pets on a leash ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino woke to tragic news on Saturday morning as a report that at least two wolves had killed a dog on Chesterman Beach shot through town. WildSafe B.C. Pacific Rim coordinator Bob Hansen told the Westerly News that the dog had been let outside a residence, offleash, in the early morning hours of Sept. 1. “It looks like [the dog] wandered out onto the beach and was attacked by the wolves and killed,” Hansen said. “We don’tknow how many wolves exactly were involved, but the indications were that there was at least two…It looks like, from the wounds, that two wolves were holding onto the dog at the same time.” Immediately after the wolf attack, Tofino’s district office reached out to Hansen in search of any potential WildSafe BC resources to help get the word out to beachgoers and Hansen provided new warning signs that Tofino’s public works team then installed around Chesterman’s access points Saturday afternoon, according to Tofino mayor Josie Osborne. Osborne told the Westerly that the district also reached out to residents through social media. Continued on A3
