This is Hermione. She belongs to our friends Nate & Jessica. Yes, she's cute and cuddly-looking, but would you believe that she's a ferocious predator? Well, believe it. Allow me to reconstruct the scene.
On an average fall day, Nate and Jessica came home from work and settled into their evening routine - feeding their daughter and putting her to bed, making dinner for themselves, and relaxing. During the aforementioned activities, Nate let their little dog Hermione out in the back yard. Just as a little background, Nate and Jessica live out in the country and they've got quite a bit of wide open space behind their house.
A little later they went to let Hermione back inside and this is what they discovered:
It would appear that Hermione had gone head to head with local wildlife - and won. According to Jessica, Hermione started out just bringing tiny mice onto the porch, but it quickly progressed to larger mice, moles, bones of other animals, and finally a deer leg!It's now time for you, fair readers, to decide - cute and cuddly or ferocious predator?
