Perhaps if the Three Little Pigs had built a canal instead marginally sturdier houses, they would have had an easier time keeping the wolf at bay.
We base that theory on a report from Italy’s Vigili del Fuoco fire brigade, which responded to a wolf that had fallen into an artificial canal.
In a social media post, the department says the wolf was successfully rescued and sedated before being transferred to a vet.
It’s hard to huff and puff and blow the house in if you have to hold your breath underwater.
