I was talking about a dog (puppy). I just mentioned I have also seen a hawk grab a mouse.

My girlfriend lives in a cyv. Last year she went out to find a big snake in her yard.
There are a lot of hawks flying around all of the time. Also we have some very large owls here that can easily grab a small dog.
