The Wolf at the Door
Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to investigate. Fee and his wife were traveling through Canada's Banff National Park to enjoy its stunning beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now encountered. Although it was dark, Fee could notice a neighboring tent in a mess. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth. That thing was a man.
Moments earlier, Lisa and Matt Rispoli, from New Jersey, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. It was like something out of a horror movie. For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning the wolf to the ground. But the wolf clamped(夹紧) its jaw onto Matt's arm, set its powerful legs, and began pulling Matt outside. Lisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.
It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it like he was kicking in a door. The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent. Wolves were so large that it felt like he had punched someone that was way out of his weight class.
Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, flew out of the tent to resume the battle. The men throwing rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, then Fees and the Rispolis fled to the shelter of Fee's minivan. An ambulance was called, and Matt was taken to a local hospital. Then, the wolf was tracked down by park officials and killed.
As for Fee, whom Elisa called their guardian angel, he does admit to a fleeting thought during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him he immediately regretted kicking it. However, it was his heroic efforts that saved the Rispolis!
