Taken By A Hawk, He Found A Trail Of Blood Leading Into The House

They never thought it would happen, after all, it is not something you think you have to plan for. Who thinks when you let your dog out to relieve themselves they will come back mutilated.

But that is exactly what happened to Rodney Nicks, he let his dog out like he normally does in the morning and it turned into a nightmare.

Rodney lives near Edgemoor and Mount Vernon, one Tuesday morning he found a trail of blood leading into the house, following it he found his dog lying in her bed bleeding.

His dog had been almost split in two, they rushed her for emergency surgery but it was way too late. He was told by the vet that it was clear what had caused the injury, a large bird with talons had ripped her open.

“Because of the flooding last month in May, predators are coming inward. These hawks and what not. Well these hawks are following food. Ciary has the coat of a rabbit. She’s a very small dog.”

Nicks next door neighbor Rosalle Scockham, now on edge, is scared to even take out her dog, Cooper.

“He perched himself on the branch right there just watching my dogs. I don’t feel safe with them here,” says Scockham.

Nicks has made many calls to see if someone can remove the hawks and their nest… but in the meantime, he wants to make one thing very clear.

“If it happens to our dog, it can happen to your dog. I don’t know what the city will do about it, but I want the public to be aware.”
