Yes, I didn’t hear what I believe to be an owl, I became aware of it by serendipity. I never knew that they might approach that close to a person. I could see swoopIng in for a small dog, but given the lighted vests and my proximity to the dogs I was thrown for a loop.

I don’t think there are any owls that can lift a fifteen pound dog, lighted or not. Great that you and they are lighted though. (Some walkers and bicyclers without lights don’t realize that to drivers with dimmed lights, they all look like Trayvon Martin in a hoody.) I think owls generally eat mice, chipmunks, an occasional squirrel. Not dogs. An eagle might try, but that would be unlikely. Coyote or bobcat or gator: sure, if it caught the dog alone.
