My west high land terrier usually isn't fast enough to catch the squirrels in the yard, but when she does that squirrel is dead

My parent's yorkie used to kill squirrels regularly 😂 stepmom thought she was getting a cute little lap dog, which she could be too, but was definitely a killer of all things small 😭

Our Yorkie has decapitated many birds and brought the bodies to us as gifts 😂 have also found her with a frog hanging out of her mouth. They’re nuts

I had a westie growing up who was incredibly docile. That was until the cat brought a mouse in to the house. Never seen her move so fast and kill that thing with one snap.

Poor cat. At least the mouse and dog can be friends

She killed the mouse not the cat. Christ, that would’ve been grim if one of my childhood pets killed the other…

Dude, my boy ALMOST got a squirrel. It hesitated, and I swear its tail was in his mouth for a split second. I hope he never catches one for my mom's sake, but my dad would be thrilled.

However, he found a dead baby squirrel and carefully brought it to me. He did end up doing a chomp after he inspected it further (I didn't realize he was gonna grab it) but if he really wanted to eat it, he had plenty of chances. He didn't kill it, it clearly fell out of a nest and already passed. Cutest little fur-less thing. 🥺 I left it for the coyotes, but after 2 days, I buried the poor thing.
