Perhaps you will need a 'special' Jack Russell though, one with wings OGF,
pigeons are often known as 'flying rats' or 'flying vermin'!

Hope he's Leptospirosis jabs are up to date if he's had a rat in his mouth Pauline!

There will no doubt be more too, as rats are seldom alone, they usually live in groups.

Re: My dog killed a Rat

I admit I also thought you had lost your little dog Pauline.

So pleased you still have him.

I know, living in a rural village there are thousands of them here plus also pheasants which are far worse when it comes to what they 'deposit' all over the place! There's only one thing worse that I can imagine – flying cows and we haven't got those yet!
