Brody the dog was out in his back yard relieving himself, the safest place in the world right???? Wrong… he was attacked by a hawk in his own back yard. Everyone with a small dog has feared that something like this could happen to their dog.

“Brody’s dad heard a distressed canine cry and immediately sprang into action. He witnessed Brody being attacked by the bird under the confines of a lawn chair. Paternal instincts kicked in and within seconds Brody’s dad scared away the foul fowl.”

Brody showed visible signs of skin trauma from the hawk’s assault.

Please be careful, you never know what can happen… even in your own back yard.
