A dog with nine lives?

[Tobi]

Wow! Rocky is so lucky. The woman screaming might have helped a lot, to frighten the hawk. I have often wondered about small pets and hawks... as the animal doesn't often see danger coming from above. Any animal which is rabbit-sized or smaller could be prey.
Where I live we have Buzzards and they are quite large birds. They could definitely be a danger to small cats and kittens, and could probably take a very small dog.

Thank goodness everything worked out in the end. Unfortunately it's going to make them scared of taking their dog out.
