In Twin Falls (southeastern Idaho) a horned owl has been spotted trying to carry off someone's cat. A resident saw it take place on their Ring doorbell camera and reported on their neighborhood watch site.
I see where a Horned Owl can carry a 5-pound dog. That's a sad story because I know from other stories what ends up happening to the aggressive animal in these stories and how people respond to stories like this one.

Somebody has a couple of dogs down our street that have been howling and barking all day... I would PAY a horned owl to carry them off!

@celticeagle I'm glad the new neighbors keep their dogs inside all the time. We can't even hear them barking. 
They put up a fence around their front yard. I've seen their little dogs out for potty breaks but they don't make any noise at all.

@DaddyEvil .......Sounds like they are responsible folk. That's good. Strange too cause the little ones seem to be the yipers. Those drive me nuts.

Yes, wild animals acting normally. Glad the owl isn't around here. We have 4 cats.

@celticeagle I'm glad that he isn't either. You might of had to confine your cats to the house if he was.

I always worried about our Pomeranian mixed dogs when they were out. I don't have any fur babies anymore.

I see. Yeah I'd probably watch the little ones when they are out.

It was doing what an Owl will do.
I hope they leave the Owls alone

When animals come down to town to find food it tells me they are having trouble finding it while they are and perhaps wildlife people should be called.
