They roam the north woods, howling in the cold night air. They hunt rabbits and mice in Twin Cities suburbs. They sneak around golf courses and back yards right in town. With their big teeth, long snouts, deep chests, and long bushy tails, wild dogs look like many of the dogs people have as pets.
Wild dogs act a lot like pet dogs.
They bark and howl. They eat meat, but they will eat other things they find. They send signals by making faces and wagging their tails. And they guard their territory just like your own dog would guard your house. Red Fox and Gray Fox Foxes are the smallest of Minnesota s wild dogs, weighing about 12 pounds when full grown.
