OT: I am incredulous about this story involving a wild wolverine.

This is a comment I saw on Reddit today. I had to post it here because I did not think there was a chance in hell it could be true.

I had a male Jack Russell Terrier. Despite being small he thought he outranked everyone but me. Back when I would take him to the park he would subdue and teabag the biggest male dog. He would be super friendly with all of the bitches though.

There was a poor rotweiler that would come to the park with his owners only to be pinned down and teabagged by my dog. Then the rottweiler would pace around in the park looking ashamed.

The owners would always look so annoyed with me but what am I supposed to do? My dog never hurt the other one he just really asserted his dominance. I socialized him a lot too but he just demanded to be top dog in all scenarios.The day care he went to was full of dogs that were terrified to cross him. Also when off leash he was far too fast for me to catch.

His sad end: one day when walking him he decided to fight and kill a wolverine. A fucking wolverine! Which i responsibly reported to the fish and game department. When they got there they told me that it was labelled "Species At Risk" in the region. Because he won a fight with a wolverine, they decided that he was a considerable risk to animals in the area and requested to have him put down. I naturally declined initially but he had gotten a taste for blood and decided to eat a cat that came into the yard.

He was agile, [1] aggressive,  intelligent, fast, couldn't slow down but was [2] so cute.  (sigh.)

I would guess that the OP has no idea what a wolverine is. Any dog, no matter how strong, would not have the jaw strength to wound a wolverine. I bet the dog killed an old and sick badger.

I thought about that as well. It could only be Idaho, Montana, Alaska or Canada, assuming the OP is a from North America (where most dog parks are...)

Places populous enough to have parks for many people with dogs aren't usually where wolverines hang out.

 

Though looking at your sig, maybe the guy thinks his dog killed Yogi Bear too. Or tea bagged him. He keeps a little too much track of his dog's tea bagging.

As much as I don't believe this, it's not impossible that a JRT killed a wolverine. Wikipedia says wolverines range in weight from 22-55 lbs. If it was a small wolverine and a large JRT, the latter could easily have a size and weight advantage for the former. I think the real question is, where could this owner live that a wolverine would be wandering through town, but the owner would still be warm enough to own a JRT?

I just watched planet earth last night.  They were talking about the huge coniferous sp? forests in russia.  There was about a 5 minute segment on wolverines.  If you watched that, there is no way a Jack Russel killed a wild wolverine.

 

No Way.

The story would be better if the owner of the dog was a rich Nigerian prince who had to export milions of dollars of precious jewels to America and needed a partner here to make that happen. It was only lacking a request for my cc number to reach that status.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  'Fess up.  You believed the story.

I can't believe I just read this story. As soon as I read about the dog tea bagging other dogs, I should have stopped there, but I kept on reading. This story is some dog owner's sick fantasy.

Chloe does actually T-Bag other dogs when she puts them on their back.  She has no balls but it is quite common that a dog will grind their genitals on a submissive dog.  It makes me laugh every time.  I am not saying the story is true but I am sure other dog owners have seen this behavior before.

He has a follow up post which says this:

 

I don't know how he did it exactly but in about 35 seconds he killed a wolverine in front of me. To be fair, they were about the same size.

I'll assume that if it was an actual wolverine, it was a very young kit.  Not quite the same thing as taking on even a year old juvenile wolverine.

Even a 3 month old wolverine kit would be larger in size than a Terrier. If it was a wolverine, his stupid f'ing dog must have killed an abandoned kit that was only a handful of weeks old. This guy is either full of BS or a total asshole for letting this dog do this.

Really?  This bullshit absolutely never happened.  The first thing to point out... He apparently takes his dog to dog parks so we know he's in at least a semi urban setting... and there are wolverines around???  Where the fuck does he live.  I don't think these things exist outside of Minnesota or Wisconsin.  Also, do you really think a wild animal would allow itself to get anywhere near some asshole and his stupid little dog??? And all of a sudden a domesticated dog just decided to be aggressive to the point of killing something?  This dude has never been outside of a major city and knows nothing of dogs or any other animal.  You have to teach a domestic dog to kill.  It doesn't happen otherwise.  Wild dogs are another story but this is a stupid JRT.

Considering adult Wolverines regularly take on Bears and Wolves to protect or steal kills, I have a hard time believing a freaking Jack Russell Terrier could take one on. Maybe it was a badger.. But even that is hard to believe, I ran into one on my uncle's farm last fall, it was quite a nasty little beast. Maybe it was a grumpy woodchuck :0

His dog "teabagged" the other dogs?

Because, uh.. dogs regularly dangle their genitals in front of other dog's faces to assert dominance. Not like, get their throats until the other dog assumes a submissive position or something.

What a moron.

Jack Russels are tough little dogs and used a lot for hunting. They are bred to tree racoons and bears and track down feral pigs (which are mean little bastards). However, there's no way they could handle a healthy adult wolverine.
