I have not seen a wolf and I doubt they are around here. BUT I ve seen many coyote s.They look kind of like German Shepard s but scrawny.
We ran into a coyote early one morning on the walking trail in South County. I m not sure who was more surprised it or us but both of us quickly went in opposite directions. If you want to know more about wolves, the best place to call is the wolf sanctuary off of Highway 44 on the way to Six Flags.
I am sure it was a coyote. They are around in the outer suburbs. That is why they tell people to be careful with their small dogs being outside.
