| | | Bat out of Hell
my golden retriever brought me a present in from the garden late this evening .... A bat!
She was well pleased with herself as she dropped it in my lap lol. Other than being covered in dog saliva the bat was completely unharmed  I took it outside and let it go and then had a thought "Lewis you dipstick, why oh why didnt you get a camera and grab some pictures!"
Now the question is how the hell did my dog get 20' up in the air and could I get her to do it again so I can take some pictures ???? |

What a shame Kev. Still, the main thing is the bat was ok. Good job your dog is a soft mouthed retrieving sort.. my Jack Russell would have killed it... |

Bats often fly low, and I've heard many tales of athletic cats leaping into the air from the lawn to nab them. The bats don't usually survive this! But bats occasionally land on the ground, and I guess this is where your GR found this bat.
