The book of dogs; an intimate study of mankind's best friend (1919) (20118179393), 1919

Original caption: the offspring op a timber wolf and collie dog during the winter of igiy wolf tracks were observed leading from the south shore of lake superior across the ice to grand island, one of the finest game preserves east of the mississippi. Several days later some carcasses of deer were found, and a trap was placed near the remains. The next day one of the game protectors found an animal struggling in the trap and he killed it before having a chance to examine the animal. While looking much like a timber wolf, the hair was longer and finer, the legs and tail being feathered much like that of a collie dog. It is the opinion of those examining the mounted specimen that it was a hybrid of dog and wolf. The animal accompanying it was undoubtedly a timber wolf. Photograph and note by george shiras, 3rd.
