Yeah, Hal, I know what you mean.  A lot of those small dogs were bred
to be (the general term for them) "ratters".  But that in no means
justifies what the dog did your chickens.  I hope you prevailed on
your neighbour to pay for the dead fowl and/or called animal control
to have that killer dog put out of its misery before it causes even
more to many of God's most noble creatures, the chicken.
