I just wanted to let ones know who were not aware that a Hawk can carry away a small animal like a Yorkie. My husband had seen a hawk carry away a squirrel and then someone told him that cats and rabbits have been seen being taken by hawks in our neighborhood.
We have a fenced in yard and I have just let Tasha play in the yard with another dog that we have. After hearing this I started to get concerned as to whether a hawk could carry away Tasha who weighs 5 lbs. I mentioned this to our pet sitter and she said that is correct that about hawks. She told of a friend who lost a Papillon to a hawk who was out in her front yard with her two dogs early in the am. Before she could blink her eye the hawk had the smaller of the two dogs, about 5lbs. and she never saw it again! This was 2 years ago and she still hasn't gotten over the loss.
I just can not imagine how horrible this would be happen to my precious Tasha!! I now go out with her and watch her every second.
