MADISON, Maine (CNN) -- John Martins never thought he had to worry about letting Ava roam around the yard of his rural Maine home.
Now the 2-year-old dachshund is fighting for her life after being attacked by a bald eagle -- a bird protected by law.

That's one resilient little pup!

I guess the eagle decided that weiners don't taste as good as trout or salmon.

C'mon! He got his ass kicked by a bird!
I bet all the other neighborhood dogs taunt him over the fence.

Didn't a Bald Eagle take a snap at Clinton once during a photo op? I remember the post from a while back.

That's one resilient little pup! That's also one heck of an eagle, if you ask me. For a bird (even a large one) to pick up a small dog it would be like having a human being go out and pick up a Yugo for supper.

Hey!
I own one of these dogs....leave them alone!

Good thing it was an American eagle and not Korean.
To: RoughDobermann
yeah the 300 feet surprised me too ... that he survived ... I'm just wondering what altitude he was dropped from ... ouch ... and how strong that eagle was to pick up a 13lb dog with its talons ... ouch ... America's symbol and man's best friend ... hope they don't get together too often like this ...
and, he's just lucky it wasn't one of
these Eagles ... hehe ...

The eagle realized he forgot the mustard and the bun.

I was in a hurry and misread the headline. I though it said Daschle. Oh, well, looks like another weekend coming up.
To: RoughDobermann
At first, I thought you meant little Tommie Dasshole was scooped up.

The bald eagle's lifting power is supposed to be about four pounds. Click
here for details. Sounds like the little guy was too heavy and was probably not being exactly cooperative either.

Dachshund survives after eagle carries it offAt first, I thought someone had a new nickname for Tommy F. DaschOle.
To: Bobby777
Yeah, 300 feet? They don't say, however, that she was dropped from 300 feet but "carried" her for 300 feet, then dropped her. Maybe they mean horizontally...

I guess I wasn't the only one. ;-)

Anyone else get a feeling that Registered is going to have fun with this one....?
To: RoughDobermann
A thousand bucks for a weiner dog! What a waste of money.
To: dead
What's a matter Ava? That sparrow to much for ya?
