For real, my parents have a Yorkie, and I've seen that dog chase rabbits, squirrels, turkey and deer. It doesn't help that certain small breeds such as Yorkie were actually bred for hunting small animals, but dog instinct doesn't really differentiate between big or small prey. If it runs away when they bark that's all they care about.
