Part 3. The pack went up into the woods and remained there for some time. At 9:07pm. MacKenzie stayed either near the windows or up on the path, attentive to the activity in the woods. She made several movements toward the woods with ears forward and tail at T2, but came back a few times before going in at 9:18pm. At 9:25pm MacKenzie came running down from the woods with T3.5 tail and ears back. The pack was in pursuit with Shadow in the lead and Malik close behind. Lucas and Lakota also participated. Shadow caught MacKenzie with a bite on her right rear, which caused her to stumble and fall near the windows. Shadow maintained his hold while Malik and Lakota snapped at MacKenzie's neck. Shadow began to drag MacKenzie across the rocks while she was on her back. Malik and Lakota continued to bite at her neck, but no contact or hold was observed. Lucas observed and paced nearby. Mackenzie took refuge against the side of the building while Shadow and Malik harassed her. Lakota was less participatory as was Lucas. MacKenzie displayed an aggressive pucker and snarl each time Shadow and/or Malik approached her, but remained crouching tightly against the wall, ears back. At 9:30pm, MacKenzie remained by the wall, occasionally being harassed by Shadow and Malik. Lakota, Lucas, and Malik (when not near MacKenzie) engaged in some play and resting behavior. Observation concluded at 9:50pm.
