Speaker 7: that his wife Anna Walsh is dead. This was a

35
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 7: huge development. This has been something that's been up in

36

Speaker 5: WBZ Boston's News Radio. Apparently, dancing with wolves is a thing.

126
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: But wandering too close to wolves that's not a thing.

127
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: It can beangerous and one wildlife photographer witness demand get

128
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,200

00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 6: This could end.

132
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 4: Very badly for that guy.

133
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 3: Bystanders watching in horror as the man moves towards them.

134
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: He kept approaching, kept approaching, and we're like, oh my word,

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: this is crazy.

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: The wolves eventually retreat and the man walks away. Previously,

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: the park is seen troubling close encounters with bison, but

138
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: people getting too close to wildlife is a trend that
