A motorist who helped the Sandpoint cyclist chased by a wolf in the Yukon last weekend offered these photos of the incident. She also offered her account of the incident, including why she felt compelled to give a stranger from Idaho a big hug.

“Well, if you haven't seen it yet, Paul and I got to be heroes of sorts this last weekend. We were cruising along the ALCAN highway, about an hour out of Watson Lake, when we came across a curious scene. There were two bicyclists stopped in our lane of the road picking up some tent poles. We slowed down and went around them wondering to ourselves what that was all about. Another five or so miles up the road Paul says to me “hey Becky, check this out, there's a dog running down the side of the highway and its big”. I whipped off my lens and starting shooting. As we came around the bend, we see another bicyclist that looked like he was peddling for his life. My first thought was 'why would someone bring their dog on a bike ride through the yukon?' That's when it hit me that it was a wolf." More of the story & photos here.

Question: Has a big dog ever chased you while you rode a bicycle?
