We have a boxer mix. She is sweet and great with my kids. But.... Last Thanksgiving she chased a squirrel down and treated it like a chew toy. The poor thing was gone by the time we noticed and interceded. A few months later I saw her standing proudly over a huge rabbit she had caught. It freaked me out a little to be honest. She's such a part of the family that we forget she's a dog sometimes. It makes me pause when I see her respond to nature in these kinds of ways...
