Deadly Deer Devours Dog

Well, ok, the dear didn't succeed in eating the beagle, but it tried to. It did manage to dine on dog lip, at least.

BARBOURSVILLE — A dog who was attacked by a deer Thursday morning survived the fight.

Deana Smith, the attacked beagle's owner, said even though her dog, Sage, suffered two broken legs, two bite wounds and lost part of her lip, she now is OK. However, at about 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, she was scared for both her dogs' lives.

Smith said she was outside trimming hedges when she heard her two beagles' barks for help.

"I heard pain in their cries, and I saw a deer trying to get at them. The deer bit one of them and stomped one of them and was continually aggressive. I threw things at her to make her stop. It was a really upsetting situation. A neighbor brought his BB gun, and it didn't faze it. She (the deer) circled for about 40 minutes."

She said when her husband came home, he had to open the top of the dog house and lift the beagle out.

Smith said because the deer was so defensive, she knew it probably was trying to protect its child.

Oh, sure. It's all because of Bambi. This is yet another case of the Animal Uprising™ enforcers - the deer - going after man's best friend in an attempt to subvert them to the animal's evil cause. Last time it was using beagles as a dance floor, this time as a lunch stand. Look for an increase in this type of activity. You'll know what the deer are up to when you see them carrying ketchup. After all, that's the deer motto: If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em.
