German Shepherd vs  Hawk????

Yep, you read that correctly! Only, it wasn't what you might think. The dog going after the hawk (well, that did happen, but that's a little later) but rather the hawk going after the dog.

Who would have thought that a 3.5 lbs bird would try to snatch up a 80+ lbs dog?  Well, turns out it happens more than you would think.  Although they don't usually pick them up and carry them away (like you see in the movies), rather they knock them off of ledges or other high up structures so when the wingless animals hit the ground, dinner is served for the bird.  

The aftermath: A broken dog box, some scared dog owners and a hawk that CIRCLED AROUND AGAIN to move in for another go.   So if you hear the strange silent but heart pounding "Whompth. Whompth.  Whompth." of a hawks wings as they approach a victim... beware... they might be there to take your beloved pet (or child) away.
