My dog is 19 pounds. We were stalked by a hawk, I put my dog in my shadow, hoping that would help; the hawk kept circling, I pulled her closer, the hawk screamed and I picked my dog up and walked her the rest of the way home. Luckily my dog stayed calm and I did my best to show no fear. The hawks are still nearby but must have found another source. I know they will fly off with smaller dogs, but 19 pounds seemed a bit over-reaching to me. I live very close to a nature preserve. Strange things come out of those woods to get water from the pond.
