Rabies was the first thing I thought of Steve, but not being an expert on the subject, discounted it due to the non aggressive behaviour. We have discussed it since though and have decided to contact the proper people if it shows up again.

As an animal lover, I too have sympathy for the wolf, but I can't bring myself to feeding it and possibly inviting future trouble. Our other dog is a tiny pug with bad legs and would be helpless if attacked.

I had another discussion with a friend last night and he put forward an interesting thought. As you also mentioned, wolves are pack animals, but it's not unheard of for the odd one to be banished from the pack. It's possible that this one has been rejected by it's own and is seeking companionship. I'm really not sure if this would be plausible with the experts, but it makes a bit of sense when I recall the strange actions and submissive appearance.

Whatever the situation is, I'm very pleased that there is no sign of it this morning.
