Dog chasing elk herd in Telluride, Colorado
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Was driving along West Spur Highway 145 just outside of Telluride before the Shell station. This meadow is north of the San Miguel River and since there is a lot of private property in Telluride, the elk population is quite healthy. Looks like someone's dog got loose.

Proof that yet another person should not own a dog.
That dog would have been in my cross hairs. And the great state of Colorado just introduced wolves Back into the environment.
Right the dog might sink his teeth into their leg but that elk (only brave one) was going for the “trample you into itty bitty pieces” mode. Dogs should not be off leash at large in public, cats neither. They can hurt people, or cats decimated ground nesting bird populations in many states. A pet should be held responsibly either in a fenced yard or on the end of a leash unless their secured in your home. Don’t leave your pet unsupervised in public. Your responsible for any harm they cause to people or other innocent pets.
That looks like an Australian Cattle Dog aka… Blue Heeler… it’s just doing what comes naturally, I don’t think there’s anyway that a Golden Retriever or other non-herding dog would do this.

That was my breed diagnosis too. And since one (-if not both,) of my dogs is likely Heeler-mixed, this at least answered a thought I HAVE HAD about 'what if' this exact situation happened with them. Luckily, I don't have to risk the fines, medical injuries, or them running off in pursuit, to find out, now!
Very irresponsible on the dog owner's part....harassing the elk AND putting the dogs life at risk of injury or death 😵💫🤢

@@andersd8956 Looks like one of the herding breeds doing what they are hard wired for!
The dog is having more fun than should be legal AND is flirting with death.

Yes, definitely. I have 2 more videos that I might post later that show the dog harassing an elk calf. I think that is what got the mommas mad.

It isn't legal, you can be fined and or jailed if your pet is harassing wildlife.
People and their f-ing dogs...
