Dhole

The dhole is a real animal found in India and southeastern Asia. It resembles a small reddish wolf, travels in packs and hunts using tactics similar to those of the Cape hunting dog. It cannot bark, but has an unusual howling whistle - apparently its mating call. In reality, it is such a shy, secretive animal that it is almost never seen; it avoids humans at all costs.
The dhole listed here is the dhole of Kipling - the patient, populous pack that never forgives a wrong, and from which even the tiger turns away. "The dhole do not begin to call themselves a pack till they are a hundred strong..." says Kipling,"... and remember, the dhole biles low."
Dholes will attack humans by biting at their legs, then swarming over them once they fall. A pack of dholes will not turn aside for any thing. Anyone who stays out of the pack's way will not be hurt; but woe to
anyone who injures, kills or otherwise antagonizes a
dhole - the pack will hunt him to the death
