Yes a wolf is much stronger than a dog and if a wolf attacked a dog the wolf would almost certainly win the fight against the dog.

The wolf could easily overpower even a large size dog and severely injure the dog or kill the dog.

Wolves have better endurance as well as a stronger bite force and are even faster at running than most large dogs.

If you see a pack of wolves and the wolves are not coming towards you then you should just turn away and then get as far away from the pack of wolves as possible.

If you're too close to the wolves then just keep eye contact with them but do not stare at them and just slowly back away.

Do not run from the pack of wolves because then they will chase you.

If you have a gun and the pack of wolves try chasing you to attack you then shoot the pack of wolves or at least the wolves you can shoot to avoid an attack.

But the best thing to do is avoid getting too close to the wolves and keep your distance.

Wolves do and have attacked humans.

But the good news is that most wolves will just leave humans alone unless you stare them down or they see you as a threat to them.

As long as you remain a safe distance from the wolves and do not try to make yourself look like a threat to them then the wolf or wolves will usually just go on their way.

Wolves attacking humans does happen but it's rare that wolves attack humans.

Some people even keep some wolves as pets and some can be very friendly.

A man or other human can indeed outrun a wolf if the human is in good shape and can run fast enough.

If you have a wolf trying to attack you and it runs after you then you can start running if you have no other choice.

However as long as you do not get too close to the wolf then they will likely not even try to chase you as long as the wolf does not see you as a threat.

The best thing to do is not get to close to a wolf and if you do see a wolf just back away slowly and leave and the wolf will usually not bother you.

Back in June 2004 someone did outrun a wolf which was a pretty amazing thing and it saved his life.

If you do see a wolf make sure to stand tall and make yourself look larger and then while remaining eye contact with the wolf back away slowly.

If you have pepper spray on you then you could try pepper spraying the wolf if it tries to attack you but only do that as a last resort.

Or if you have a gun with you and the wolf tries to attack you then shooting the wolf will be the best option before it gets too close to attack you
