Monday, July 18th 2011, the Associated Press reports that the police in New Philadelphia Ohio are warning residents to keep children, pets and food indoors due to the possible sighting of a wolf in the area. It is said to look like a "large, silver dog".
This is the same area of Ohio where people have reported seeing a possible mountain lion.
There are reports that the 'wolf' has killed ducks and deer fawn.
The Tuscarawas County Warden believes the animal may be a wolf/dog hybrid, and as usual, the authorities claim it may have been a pet.
