You got that right Tunaman
There was not one case of wolf attack on man in the 1900's
Domesticated dogs gone wild are another story.
There are many stories of dogs released in the wild that have gone wild and maintained their non-fear of man in the 1920's thru the 1950's. These cases were all near rural areas where dogs were abandoned in the wild not far from communities.
These dogs gathered together and traveled in packs, the attacks made by these dogs were made on small children who saw the dogs and thought of them as playful dogs only to be killed but not eaten.
1953 was the last case of wild dog attack in Michigan. There are cases of children here in Michigan every year getting attacked by domesticated dogs.
A wolf will avoid a human when ever possible and will run away unless cornered or have rabies or distemper.
