(We often see an example of this when a dog plays with a stuffed animal.) He might injure a rabbit while trying to catch it by inflicting a single puncture wound, or he might get the animal in his mouth and instinctively shake it, which dogs do to kill their prey. Sadly, even domesticated pets, both dogs and cats, have a strong instinctive desire to chase, bite and kill prey animals. Can you tell me if he would hurt a bunny if he caught one? I am afraid to let him out in the yard if I’m not out there to keep a careful watch, but I can’t be out there as much as Buddy likes to be outside.
Buddy has never caught one, but I am worried that if he did, would he hurt them? Since our fence is chain link, I guess the bunnies somehow get through or under it. If Buddy gets their scent, he yelps and goes crazy trying to find them. Recently, some rabbits started venturing into our yard. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggy door, so when we are home, we let Buddy go in and out as he wishes. I have a four-year-old beagle, Buddy, that I adopted two years ago from South Carolina.
