Oh this poor dog. I am so happy Anya will be ok, even though they had to amputate the leg.

I feel really horrible at the thought of this poor little dog being swooprd up like it was. God was surely watching over it as things could have been much worse.
I have been hearing alot about this type of thing since I lived out in the Phoenix area. It is partially due to extreme droughts and they are driving the wild animals down to where water and "food" are available, but that is not the only reason!!!! The more wild habitat we take from these animals, the less choice we give them. I'd like to say the bird was heartless but it was just being a bird and trying to survive.
