If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. A hawk just tried to attack my dog. While I was walking her outside my apartment. My dog was circling around trying to find a place to take a dump and I was looking at her. Then, out of nowhere, this hawk swoops out in front of us and is six inches above her and then flys off. It was so close, I could have touched it had I reached out in time. The bird was there for less than a second and then I watched it fly off into a tree further down the street.
This sucker was FAST and silent. I never heard the wings flapping or saw it coming. I am so glad I am higher up on the food chain because I would have been a goner. The interesting thing is that my dog was bigger than the hawk. She's a 30 pound terrier mix. No small dog. The hawk had a body about half the size of my dog, but it's wing span went out about three feet. At least that's how it looked as it zoomed by.
I wonder if it thought it could take her and then changed it's mind at the last minute. I have heard stories of other people loosing small dogs or pet rabbits to birds (owls and hawks). I have to say, I'm now a witness to something similar.
