There's a good explanation from Alaska Fish & Game about Eagle flight and hunting
HERE. According to their information, a 16-lb dog isn't at too much risk.
In the Whitehorse area of Yukon, the coyotes and wolves make regular snacks of pets. Cats and dogs of all sizes. The wolves around our rural property in the bush have better food prospects than our dogs so we haven't had a problem. In winter we see the tracks around the property but they haven't yet ventured close to the cabin or the fenced area in which our dogs stay unless they're with us on a hike. Kodi gets very curious when the females go into heat though.
