May, her ribs broken, her body lacerated, was found by nursing staff on May 2 and delivered to the Sunshine Coast SPCA. The fall injured her, says BC SPCA official Lorie Chortyk, but the whole unnerving ordeal likely saved her life.
She carried no identification and her generally poor condition indicated she had been wandering without care for some time before attracting the eagle's attention. "Ironically, if it hadn't been for this we might never have found her," said Chortyk. "She's been a stray. There's been severe neglect, and who knows how long she's been out there," said Chortyk.
May was taken to the appropriately named Eagleridge Veterinary Hospital for treatment to her immediate injuries and is now recovering. "May's survived so much, the least we can do is find her a good home. If anyone deserves a happy ending it's her," said Chortyk.

There seem to be lots of eagles all over southwestern B.C. Just drive down the highway and you can see their nests in the high-tension power lines!
It's worrisome for owners of small dogs, that's for sure. May is, ultimately, lucky; she can now find a good home.
If she weighs 18 pounds, she is not a toy poodle.
Now the poor eagle will go hungry!
Cookie,
That hungry comment is really sick!
