Eagle eats sausage dog

STOCKHOLM - A golden eagle has made a meal of a dachshund hunting dog in Sweden as experts warn the cold spell sweeping northern Europe is forcing hungry birds of prey closer to towns and cities.

The dog was taking part in a rabbit hunt in Halland, southwestern Sweden, when it became the prey, local radio news reported on Wednesday.

Owner Valdemar Nilsson will replace the animal at the government’s expense – under Swedish law, the government compensates losses of cattle and dogs caused by bears, wolves, wolverines, lynx and eagles.
