I agree with Sandypaws...set a hav-a-heart trap (my pound has them to borrow) and transport the dog to the pound, the country, etc. My girls free range only when I can be out there with them, and that still does not keep them entirely safe. If I ever see a predator, I will trap them and if I can't do that I will kill them. We must be able to protect our property. Sorry...I just sort of went on a mean binge there...
