The news from Davenport, Iowa:Sadie, a petite-sized Pomeranian, landed next to a Davenport street last weekend after surviving a flight of about two miles, clutched in the talons of a great horned owl....
“I had stopped for the sign at East 29th and College when this dog came flying out of the sky right in front of my Jeep — right out of the sky,” says Jamie Padden, Davenport. “It dropped out of nowhere.”
The owl followed, ready to snatch back its lost snack.
Padden was horror-struck to see the little dog scrambling to get away.
“I opened my car door and ran screaming at that owl,” she says. “It was after the dog.
“That owl was so big I swear that its wings spread halfway across the street. That sounds overdramatic, but it’s true.”

A very small Pomeranian does not look too different from a skunk, which is a common food source for Great Horned Owl.
