A British woman, Suzanne Dodd, walking her two dogs in the campo of Benalmádena has been attacked by an eagle which she said tried to make off with one of her Jack Russell dogs. La Opinión de Málaga reports the bird dragged the dog to a nearby quarry, and the woman was able to release her pet, although she got a peck on her hand for her trouble. She grabbed a wing of the bird and kicked it until it freed her dog. ‘You are not going to fly with my dog’, she said. It happened at 3-15pm last Saturday, forcing Suzanne to abandon the area. She said the eagle had a lead and bells, and she told the EFE news agency that ‘it did not appear to fear people’. After the attack as Suzanne hurried back towards civilisation, but the eagle harrased her some 20 times as she ran for cover. Suzanne described the experience as ‘surrealist and horrible’, and admitted she panicked. She checked with the vet, but her dog is fine apart from a scratch on his snout.
