The yorkie survived and was in pretty bad shape. The vet said any dog 10 pounds and under should NEVER be left alone outside. so NO IT IS NOT OKAY!

But it wasn't a dumb question

OMG That was an awesome rescue by that GR ! What a hero...that gave me chills. A friend (not a member here) DID have her yorkie snatched by a hawk and she was like 10 feet away - it happens so fast there's nothing you can do - the worst thing is ...even if a Hawk lets go - the talons can inflict fatal wounds...

That little yorkie was very very lucky and he sure had an Guardian Angel in his good buddy.....
