Okay, I have a story! When I was a kid, around 14, we were squirrel hunting with pellet rifles. My Crosman would kill one but my friend's BB gun would only knock them out of the tree. Herbie, my friend, had a dog named Snoopy, a beagle mix, and he always came along.
Well, Herbie knocked one out of the tree, and before it could get up and run away, Snoopy ran up to bite it. The squirrel latched onto Snoopy's tongue, and the dog started yelping loudly and violently shaking his head from side to side, with that squirrel still attached! We were rolling on the ground laughing!
This was roughly 41 years ago, but I still feel bad for that dog!
