I finally composed myself as we sat in awe watching the bonding and grooming between dog pack members noting the incredible cooperation it must have taken to bully this leopard into the tree.
I had read a fair bit about Wild dogs over the years and seen several doccies but to be present in their company was a huge and unexpected privilege indeed.

WD family structure is still little understood, IMO. They are very complex! But they bond like crazy at times, indeed! 
Interesting the blood on that last one?
Many guides in Kruger (Jeep Jockeys) talk a bit of nonsense sometimes...

Yes RP we discussed the blood on two of the dogs but couldn’t be certain as to where it came from the one dog in the previous pic did have quite a bad scratch mark, we did wonder whether there wasn’t some contact between the leopard and the dogs.

This guy also seemed to have taken a knock but possibly a paw from the leopard struggle.

After about 15 minutes the dogs disappeared into the bush.
