Remember - hawks prey on Rabbits and other small creatures....a little yorkie is no challange for them....and even if they don't 'fly' off with the animal - the Talons can kill.

You are so right about those talons!! Last year my vet told me he had treated a little Dachshund that had been lacerated by a hawk's claws; he said that this was not uncommon.
