FYI: Hawks/and other birds of prey dive from very high altitudes, and SLAM into small dogs, cats, rodents, etc, BREAKING THEIR BACKS TO IMMOBILIZE THEM. Then, with the immobilized prey clutched with a death grip in talons that range in length from 1 inch to 5 inches, depending on what bird you are dealing with, they then often begin to rip and tear the flesh from the prey, especially starting in the underbelly, where the prey is quickly evicerated. I would only pray you can get up and mobilized inside the house, witness such a horrific site happening to one of your babies, and have the emotional where with all to get to your tethered pup before the predator finishes its meal.
