The hunter is on the prowl for any lurking predator.
When out of nowhere the mommy hen let out a call. The babies ran for cover.
A local chicken hawk comes swooping in for a baby snack. Trying hard to catch one of the babies, they scurry around trying to escape when...
Sugar comes to the rescue, mouth open and hunger in her eyes. She trys to catch up to the chicken hawk, but alas the hawk escapes barely, fleeing from the certain jaws of death of a vigilant Sugar the guard dog.
Sorry no pictures of the hawk as it happened very fast and i didn't have the camera ready. But Sugar instantly identified the the target when i hollered to get it. She went straight for the hawk and not the chickens.
Today she gets a big atagirl. :)
This dramatisation brought to you by life on the farm, happens regular. Ain't life grand

Sugar probably figures if she can't eat the chicks, no one else gets to either!
