Our neighbor lady (Divorced, whos moved since) had her little miniture datschun taken by an eagle (She claims) She said it flew off and ate the dog in one of our big trees in our backyard. I didn't believe her until one day when I stepped outside and something caught my peripherial vision and this eagle flies about 20 feet off the ground right between our house and hers!
Scared the CRAP outta me! Must have been looking for something more to eat? I thought these birds were strictly fish eaters?
Not true.
Eagles will eat almost anything it can pick up.
And yours isnt the first story I've heard of an Eagle swoooping down and snatching small useless breeds of dogs.
My favorite is the one of a family traveling through in Alaska and stopping to picnic and let their Chihuahua out for a run. And the Eagle swooped down and took the little rat dog away.
I hate Chihuahuas
