Medal of Bravery

Recently Wolf and the other women were awarded the Carnegie Medal at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 City Hall for their bravery. The medal is awarded to “civilians who risk death or serious physical injury to an extraordinary degree saving or attempting to save the lives of others.”

The four women battled the cougar for 15 minutes, then pinned down the animal using Wolf’s bike until authorities could arrive.
