One of the places I grew up people would do this with their tiny dogs. Every family had a story of the time a hawk/eagle would make off with one of their tiny dogs. Still didn't use leashes or watch their dogs tho ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Edit: just remembered we lived near a canyon too with a trail along the top edge. People's unleashed dogs would chase after something and go flying off the cliff. Rescue helicopters would train for people by rescuing (or usually just retrieving the body of) all the dogs
Basically they're feeding the local raptor population with their dogs, like that story about coyotes and rescue cats.
