STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A golden eagle made a meal of a dachshund hunting dog in Sweden after experts warned the cold spell sweeping northern Europe was forcing hungry birds of prey closer to towns and cities.
The dog was taking part in a rabbit hunt in Halland, southwestern Sweden, when it became the prey, local radio news reported on Wednesday.
Owner Valdemar Nilsson will replace the animal at the government's expense -- under Swedish law, the government compensates losses of cattle and dogs caused by bears, wolves, wolverines, lynx and eagles.
I, like, heard this same story when I was up in Alaska back in '93.. The only thing, though, is I CLEARLY recall the husband "comforted" his wife, and, after putting her inside, as he was walking around the vehicle did the Yessss thingy...
It was funny then, and it is funny now.
Somehow, you tell it better..
