@Rajiv@infosec.exchange Screech owls are tiny, only 4.3-8.6 oz (121-244 g).
This suggests that great-horned owls are capable of picking up small dogs.

It would be a scary sight to see a dog being carried away...

@CStamp@mastodon.social this was 7-8 years ago and I relied on my neighbour to identify the owl species. I am not good at identifying anything except broad categories of birds. So I won't stake my life on it :) it definitely was an owl though. And to be fair, it apparently is not a common occurence. definitely caught those of us watching by surprise.
