The poisoned mouse can travel a ways farther than your property before it
dies.

T'is true. Our family dog nearly died after eating a poisoned rat in
our backyard. The next door neighbour's dogs were both very sick (bit
rats but didn't eat them). It was the neighbour beyond them that
poisoned the rats. About 100 meters away. All yards are fenced, so it
was the rat that staggered into our yard, not our dog going into their yard.

Incidentally, if you suspect your pet has been poisoned with rodent
bait, immediately remove all sources of food and water, and get them to
the vet ASAP.
