Maggie the Hunter

Maggie pawed the patio door To tell me she wanted out She laid upon the deck For a short while-then A bunny appeared not too far It was a newly born rabbit So off she ran like a leopard Chasing the little bunny Suddenly she caught it Oh..how shocked I was I was feeling so upset To see this part of her Never did I see this side I did not think she'd kill She has four sides of her One bad and gentle Harsh..for creatures Kind when there are humans

This is a natural instinct of any dog, though we would never want our pets to be so cruel, Darlene, you've expressed your thoughts very well:)

Hello Jo, nice to meet you.Thank you. It took me three days to get over that situation. Then two days later I saw her staking someting in the grass, in my thoughts i said,"Run"!

Oh I had a dog like this, it was more like field mice that he was after though. But don't be too upset, I'm sure she was only having fun?.... Maria

Hello Marie, I was feeling upset for a few days. Then i got over it. Yes she was only playing thinking it was her toy bunny.

That is their instinct to hunt for food. All dogs are not that way, but most would chase a bunny. Siberian huskys will kill any small animal. What breed is Maggie? Sad poem that conveys the way life is. : )

No bad owners here. But there a lot of bad owners around I know that,some people should not have dogs. Nice to meet you Christopher.

Love Dogs 2 Darlene As obviously you do they are much better than people reliable, loving and loyal as well as cute as hell. No such thing as a bad dog only bad owners
