Owls will attack anything they think they can get away with. They're predators.

I watched one of my dogs almost snatch a bird out of the air once. She watched it peck on the ground for a minute, did some quick trigonometry, then launched herself not at where the bird was, but where it would be when it leapt into the air to fly away. She caught tail feathers but didn’t get enough of a grip to take the bird down. Still pretty impressive imo.

My parents old dog did actually manage to snatch a double of birds out of the air then just stood their prodding it trying to make it go again.

When I was a kid I was dive bombed by a great horned owl from behind. They really are silent. Scared the absolute gently caress out of me because they're big birds.

Great horned owls don't prey on people, fortunately. Most likely you were getting too close to a nest and it was trying to get you to stay away.

Or maybe it was trying to give you a quest to save the world by finding the 8 Rodents of Power and presenting them to the owl.

Not as impressive as your story because cats are murderous little shits but I watched a stray cat take a bat out of the air once. He was so happy gnawing on the thing

those are touch-sensitive explosive trigger training vests, they train the dogs to crawl underneath enemy vehicles when they're puppies, and then they strap the real bombs to them when they've completed the training hosed up picture to post in a funny picture thread imo  Hundminen, or Dog Mines.

ThatGirlAtThatShow posted:Didn't this program end when they discovered the dogs were really bad at telling enemy tanks from their own, though? Yea, also the dogs were nervous when the enemy tanks were... moving... at all, and so the dogs would try to run back to the handlers and blow them up or get shot before that could happen. Dogs: good with people, bad with explosives.
