Find stories about Tibetan Mastiffs

After breakfast, our tour bus left the beautiful Shangri-La Pudacuo National Park at an altitude of 3,480 meters and headed for Tiger Leaping Gorge. Since we were still at a plateau, several of our heads were still hurting. The driver of the car was a middle-aged Naxi man. He saw that none of us were energetic and said with a smile, "In order to help everyone alleviate altitude sickness, let me tell you about the Tibetan Mastiffs on our plateau. Do you want to listen?"

"That winter, when the Spring Festival was approaching and the mountains were closed due to heavy snow, I sent two photographers from the TV station to shoot a program in the mountains at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters. A few days later, the task was completed and I sent them off Going down the mountain. That afternoon, the snow was really heavy, and the road was very difficult to drive. We drove all afternoon, and it was almost dark before we left the mountain. Suddenly, guess what, I saw a few wolves. They burst out from the depths of the snowy woods and rushed toward our car. I had seen wolves several times while driving in the mountains, and I knew how powerful these wolves were from the way they flew. They were hungry wolves who were eager to find food after the heavy snow closed the mountain. I was extremely nervous and tried to get rid of them as soon as possible, but after a while, I saw the wolf chasing us closely from the front. Several groups of wolves emerged from the woods on the side and right. Soon, several groups of wolves merged together, forming a triangle shape of left front, right front and rear, scurrying forward and back to surround our car. They were running wildly, with a clear intention to intercept us."

"I continued to increase the speed of driving, and the reporter who was traveling with me took out a gun and shot at the wolf, probably because he rarely used a gun and was extremely worried. I was so nervous that I couldn't hit one at all. Then I finally hit one and the wolves stopped chasing. I knew that this was just a momentary escape from the wolves, and they would catch up soon."

" At this time, we saw a herdsman's home and hurriedly got out of the car. This herdsman was a couple. They raised some yaks and sheep. Most importantly, they raised three Tibetan mastiffs. Tibetan mastiffs are the treasures of the herdsmen. I saw three tall and strong Tibetan mastiffs standing there with their heads held high. With the help of the light from his house, I saw their eyes flashing with cold light, staring ahead alertly. The herdsman couple said that these wolves would definitely come soon. They had to prepare quickly. They took out their guns and immediately surrounded the yaks in a pen with their heads buried so that their horns faced the outside. The sheep were penned in the pen surrounded by the yaks, and three Tibetan mastiffs stood guard outside. Not long after, the wolves finally caught up. "

"At this time, I saw the herdsmen give a signal, and the three Tibetan mastiffs rushed out and pounced on the wolves without hesitation. The gun was about to shoot at the wolf, but because the Tibetan mastiff and the wolf were fighting together, and it was already dark, he was afraid of hurting the Tibetan mastiff and could not shoot at will. At that time, my heart felt like it was hanging in the air, and I was extremely nervous, not knowing what would happen next. I turned on the car lights to shine on the wolves, and saw three Tibetan mastiffs showing no fear in the face of so many hungry wolves. As soon as they rushed into the pack, they began to bite the wolves. I kept my eyes on those three dogs. Tibetan Mastiffs, although they are always surrounded by two or three, sometimes even three or four wolves, are extremely ferocious and bite in the east and west of the wolf pack. Some wolves are killed by Tibetan Mastiffs. They were bitten until they screamed and ran away, and some were bitten until they lay on the ground twitching. After some biting, I saw that the bodies of the three Tibetan mastiffs were covered in blood. They were all injured, but they did not stop at all. He looked like he was still biting and fighting with the wolf. I have heard other people say that when Tibetan Mastiffs bite with wolves, no matter how brutal the bite is, as long as the owner does not signal for them to come back, they will fight until they fall. "

"I think that although Tibetan Mastiffs are extremely ferocious, there are too many wolves after all. If this continues, the Tibetan Mastiffs may not be able to defeat the wolves. After a short discussion, we decided to drive away immediately and collect as many wolves as possible. The ground attracted some wolves to continue chasing us, thereby reducing the pressure on the herdsmen here. In this way, maybe the three Tibetan mastiffs and cattle and sheep could be saved. ”

“After discussing it, we immediately drove away from the herdsman’s house. As soon as our car started moving, sure enough, the wolves immediately chased our car. After driving for a while, I asked the reporter how many wolves were behind us. At this time, my mentality has changed. I hope more wolves will chase us, so that the pressure on the three Tibetan mastiffs at the herdsmen's house will be less. The reporter said there were at least a dozen. I didn't care about anything, I pushed the accelerator of the car to the maximum and accelerated as hard as I could. I don't know how long we drove. The wolves were probably tired from running, and the number of wolves chasing us slowly became less and less. Finally, we got rid of them completely and arrived safely. Left the mountains.

”

“Are the three Tibetan mastiffs okay? "I don't know why I am very worried about the fate of the three Tibetan mastiffs.

The driver saw our thoughts and said: "After that winter, when I went out to the mountains, I went to see the herdsman family. . I only saw two Tibetan mastiffs at the herdsmen’s house. They stood in the doorway just as they had when we first saw them, tall and strong, staring alertly ahead. The herdsmen told me that after we left that night, most of the wolves chased us, and there were not many wolves left. The three Tibetan mastiffs continued to bite the wolves. Among them was a seriously injured Tibetan mastiff that was bitten by three wolves at the same time. In the end, it killed one of the wolves, but it was also bitten down by the wolf. Later, the wolves finally dispersed, but all three Tibetan Mastiffs were injured. The one bitten by the wolf was also the most ferocious of the three Tibetan Mastiffs. It could not be saved because it was too seriously injured. The other two were raised for a long time. , the injury will heal. ”

After listening to the story, we didn’t speak for a while. We were all immersed in the tragic atmosphere of the Tibetan Mastiff fighting with the wolves
