One dog was attacked on Monday in Jackson County and died at the scene. It was described by Colorado Parks and Wildlife as a ranch dog that worked with livestock.

The other dog was attacked the day after about 4 miles away. It was put down soon afterwards due to the extent of its injuries and was described as a pet.

Wildlife officers said they found wolf tracks in the area where the attacks happened and used wolf GPS collar data to determine they were there.
