Same thing here. We've lost a precious little one that way too. I've never taken my male off the lead when walking altho' my girls would trot along on their own with me and never stray. Some just bolt. Mine (the male) took off last night in our garden (fenced in, where we think he is safe) and unearthed a hedgehog in a split second. He had it in his mouth and couldn't get it out. Panic scene as we grabbed him and wrapped a towel around the beastie. As I pulled it out I was thinking "there goes his tongue, teeth and tonsils" It turned out ok, no blood and no quills. Their hunting instinct over rides training and common sense. Fantastic breed!
