It depends on the dog itself and its breed too. I can understand a Jack Russel killing small livestock in a matter of seconds, but I'm not really sure if a Pomeranian would hurt or scare a cow.
Temperment is also a huge deal too...Where I did let my dogs loose in the neighborhood was semi-rural, everyones chickens, goats, horses, cows, etc. were in fenced land.
Ever see the cartoons about elephants and mice?
Have you ever seen a horse rear up and break it's leg because a dog/turkey/rabbit startled it?
Ever have to have a 'dozer come in to bury an 1100lb animal because it couldn't be saved cuz somebody felt fido should be "free" to roam around? All I am going to say on this from here on out.
Yeah, it's fake. A cartoon.
No, but I've seen similar cases. Some horses are more easily spooked than others.
Gah.
