A man filming, believed to be the dog owner screams "hey, hey, hey" in panic as the creature pounces.

It grabs hold of the mutt and there is a loud scream before the chilling video cuts out.

It is not known what happened to the dog or the human.

The clip was posted on Nv Tv's YouTube channel and has been watched more than 3,000 times.

Some claim the video proves the legend of the dogman - a half wolf, half human who stalks the dense forests of northern America.

One viewer remarked: "Is that a dire wolf from Game of Thrones?"

Another said: "Whatever that thing is - it should be extinct!"

But others criticised the owner, claiming it was irresponsible to let the dog chase wolf, and being critical of them for filming the drama.

One commented: "Who lets their dog chase a wolf and films it, knowing the wolf could kill his dog in a split second. Moron."

The beast in the video is probably a large black wolf or black timber wolf, which can grow up to 6.5ft in length.

Last month, a bizarre wolf-like creature was found in Montana leaving wildlife experts baffled as to what it is.
