For hours one afternoon Elmar Roosvald (84) of Iisaku Parish, engaged in battle with a wolf who ran into his home yard and wanted to kill his dog.
The man of the house grabbed a fork which saved the lives of both dog and its master. The man said the fight was long as the wolf was extremely strong. «For two hours I wrestled it,» noted Mr Roosvald.
While fighting, he did have a mobile phone in his coat pocket but he never had the time to pull it out to call his grandson - a hunter. The nearest neighbors live many a kilometer away.
