“At an off-leash dog park in Red Deer Alberta, came around a corner at the top of a crest and my dog was looking from the path into the trees and next thing I know a moose came charging out, my phone was in my hand so I quickly hit record and it came running out again at my little dog. I recorded thinking no one will believe how close they are. I did not think it was going to charge twice. There were two babies with the cow moose.”
Great reminder to anyone traveling in moose country to keep your dogs on leash at all times. Moose react to all dogs the same way they would to wolves, by trying to crush them with their hooves. This is especially true when the moose is with young one like in the instance below. Remember folks, if you’re sharing the landscape with moose always keep dogs on a leash or consider leaving the dog at home.
