Then they charged. I immediately started throwing kicks and punches to ward them off. My fingers dug into the sides of the fence and I lifted myself away from their snouts. They chomped below my feet and then started to get up on their hind legs. I took that as my chance and swung my feet onto the top of the grey wolf’s head
