I've always been surprised the owls don't even bother w/ the young 'uns
when they're just beginning to move about but they don't.
Actually, even more surprising to me has been that they also don't have
cat (or kitten) on their menu, either...

We have Red Tailed Hawks around here that love toy dog breeds. A
Chihuahua wrapped in a tortilla would be a fine meal for little kiddie
hawks.

We have them as well as golden eagles and kites but there are certainly
no dogs that small that are outside dogs around here. They would simply
get lost in the native grasses and never be able to get thru it at least
before something got 'em whether it was raptor or rattlesnake or badger
or coyote or... .
