A suspected killer wolf caught by police is to be given a DNA test after a man said it was his pet dog, a husky.

The white animal was caught on March 23 at Nanshahe town in Tengzhou, Shandong province, and identified by a local zoo as a 5-year-old she-wolf.

Police believe it was responsible for attacks on seven people, two of whom died.

But a local man surnamed Wang claimed it was his pet dog Lady that he had reared for two years, and who was gentle in nature.

"We have invited experts from some universities in Shandong, and they will professionally determine whether it's a wolf or a dog," a wildlife protection officer said on Monday.

Xing Hao, a local zookeeper, told reporters: "Its cry is like that of a wolf. Its tail is also straight, not sticking up like a dog, and its ears are upright. All these indicators are in line with a wolf's characteristics."

But Wang disagreed. "It's not a wolf but my dog. I recognized her at a glance from a news photo," Wang told China Daily.

"Her name is Lady and she is very gentle. I have raised her for nearly two years. At around 11 am last Friday, she ran away from home and never came back."

Wang said he now works in another city in Shandong and was only told of events by friends on Friday night. "I recognize my Lady," he said. "I hope I can get my pet back as soon as possible. During her capture, she was hurt badly both physically and mentally. She's very scared of people," he claimed, relying on reports from family and friends who went to see the dog on Saturday."

Wang has contacted local police and the zoo. "It's quite understandable for local departments to do this, as they want to protect local people," Wang said.

72.   The local police caught wolves because        .

A. they are a threat to people                B. they are like a wild dog

C. they attacked on other wild animals        D. they are needed by a local zoo

73.   We can know from the passage that        .

A. the animal was about 2 years old when it was captured.

B. the animal had attacked altogether 2 people before it was captured.      

C. the man claimed that the captured animal had been raised for 2 years.

D. the man claimed that the captured animal ran away from his home 2 years ago.

74.   A dog is different from a wolf in the following EXCEPT        .

A. its cry        B. its ears           C. its fur          D. its tail

75.   According to the report, which of the following is expected to happen?

A. The captured animal will be killed.

B. The captured animal will stay in a zoo.

C. The captured animal will be sent back to its owner.

D. The captured animal will receive an identification test.
