Hawk flies off with dog at doggie daycare

Oviedo, Florida - A family's 3-pound Papillon dog was snatched, carried off by a large hawk after it was let outside at a doggie day care business, according to a manager.

The Gusler family recently dropped off their pet dog, May, at the Pet Lodge in Oviedo before they went on vacation

The manager at the Pet Lodge said the dog was left in a fenced back yard for only a couple of minutes by a dog walker.

When the dog walker returned, May was gone.

The employees at the business said with high fences, no holes in the yard and no outside access, there is only one explanation — one of the hawks in the area carried the dog off.

The owner of the Pet Lodge tells our CBS Sister station Local 6 he plans to put mesh wire across the top of the back yard fences to protect the dogs from large birds.
