Fergus the killer owl

This story is a hoot. Oh, god, I didn't even mean that as a pun.

A European eagle owl - which stands 3ft tall and has a 5ft wingspan and 4in talons - escaped from a garden near Linlithgow, West Lothian, on Monday night and has not been seen since.

The owl has not eaten for two days, and police have advised residents to keep cats and dogs indoors. They have warned that an attack on an infant is also a possibility.

How tragic, and how freaking sweet would it be if a huge owl swooped off with your weiner dog! Oh man...now I have to go read the Harry Potter books again.
