Ohmygosh, Brit, I can't blame you for being mortified - and proud of your little terrier. He did a good thing in his mind and from his dog's viewpoint. Don't you know Jackson was proud of himself!
I'll bet he kind of strutted around for the rest of the day! Isn't it amazing that Yorkies haven't been bred for their rodent-killing tendencies for what - almost a century or so - and yet how much of that killer-instinct remains intact all these generations later. And it's not a pure canine-prey thing because we all know not every dog out there would have even tried to chase that rabbit, let alone caught and dispatched it with efficiency.
