Hi Hot Tabasco
Thanks :) I have yet to see a Eagle in nature other than captivity. I look so forward to that sight.
Sad about the dog. I wonder what took him. I wouldn't think a Red-tail would take on a dog but I don't know for certain.

Mini dachsunds are small but you are right, could be a little too large for a red tail. As for the eagle, they are pretty much scavengers and fish eaters rather than animal hunters. The only other thought and probably the most accurate is that the dog was killed and eaten by a coyote. They are becoming more and more numerous here in s.e. Michigan.
In fact last winter I was ice fishing on Lake St. Clair just off of Selfridge ANG base when a coyote came charging out of the cat tails on shore being chased by another coyote. That darn thing was hightailing it across the ice until he was out of sight. He only stopped once to turn and look behind him then kept on going.......
