Just recently the workers at a dam on the Estonian river Pärnu discovered that a creature was floundering in the water, which was already icy at that time. At first they thought that it was a dog who had appeared on the dam in an unknown way and needed help very quickly.
Thanks to the joint efforts people managed to get to the place where the dog was and drag the unfortunate creature to the shore. The animal was soaked and he was also numb from the cold. They wrapped him up warmly and took him to the nearest veterinary clinic.
On the way the dog was very calm and completely trusted his rescuers and it is for this reason that the large size of the animal didn’t frighten the workers. One of the rescuers drew attention to his too large paws and doubted the species of the creature they had saved for a moment.
However, he quickly dismissed these guesses, since the dog was still very calmly lying at his feet and didn’t react to people at all. Veterinarians also didn’t note anything suspicious in the animal. And the truth was discovered when a hunter came to the clinic, who proved to everyone that they had saved and brought here not a dog at all, but a wolf.
It was a very young one-year-old wolf which fortunately didn’t have time to suffer in the icy water. The country’s animal welfare union told the beast’s passive behavior was because of the fact that he has very low blood pressure which was caused by exhaustion.
The veterinarians examined the wolf, put on a special GPS collar and released it into the wild. The union employee thanked the workers for saving the wolf.
