The morning is off to a good start for Cecilia Celis. She left her two Yorkies, Lulu and Heidi, out to play in the backyard of her Las Vegas home. However, she didn’t notice that a giant red-tailed hawk was lurking nearby. As soon as the dogs were released, the hawk swooped in and grabbed Lulu with its claws.

As soon as the bird of prey saw Lulu, it grabbed her and began strangling her. Heidi was so scared that she could only walk around barking at the bird to release her sister. When Cecilia realized what was happening, she ran outside and screamed while trying to drive the bird away, but it didn’t work.

Cecilia, feeling desperate, grabbed what was closest to her – a flimsy sofa cushion. She mustered all her strength as she began to hit the hawk with all she had. The attack barely makes a dent; however, it was enough to startle the hawk and make it release Lulu. Cecilia saved her!

Lulu’s condition wasn’t very good after a recent encounter with a hawk. She has a stab wound to her neck, but other than that she should be fine. Cecilia believes the hawk is someone’s pet because it has yet to leave the area. Since there didn’t seem to be any immediate relief, Cecilia and her family began to be more careful each time they let their York dogs out in the yard.
