Hawk Attack!!!

Some of you might know this, but the subject of this post could be one of my deepest seeded fears. But in this case, its super awesome. This week Laura had been telling me about signs warning of hawk attacks. And each time she brought it up, I called shennanigins and called her a liar. But yesterday she had had enough and drove me to see the sign.


For those of you that cant read the sign, it says:
HAWK ATTACK
Please help us find Tonka
small white shitzu
1 eye
purple electric fence collar

Now this is just crazy! A real life hawk, with its might talons, snatched a shitzu (with 1 eye) and flew a way. Did the owners of the dog see this happen?!? I can only imagine how sweet that would have been to see. I hope they got that on video.

So when Tonka was getting abducted by the evil hawk, did it get shocked as it left the fence perimeter? And if it got shocked the hawk must have been shocked too. I bet the hawk was all like, "Damnit, Tonka!!! That shocked the crap outta me!"

Another thought. Since all animals can communicate with each other (it's science), do you think Tonka struck a deal with the hawk to help him escape the electric fence? Not sure what Tonka would give up in the deal, but maybe the hawk did it out of the kindness of his heart. Who knows, Tonka could have told him where all the squirrels in the neighborhood are living. That seems fair. And now, assuming Tonka hasn't been gutted and left for dead by the hawk, Tonka is left to roam the wilderness of Alpharetta. And since he only has one eye, I bet he runs it to every tree in the woods.
