A Chihuahua owner from Devon is left in a miserable state after her chihuahua was carried away by a seagull from the home garden. The mother is now making a desperate attempt to find their four-year-old miniature chihuahua Gizmo. She has posted on Facebook to find her pet and hoping that it's still unharmed and reunited with her family's two other pets. 75-Year-Old Florida Man Fights With Alligator to Save His Pet Dog!

Becca Hill's daughter is distraught that their pet Gizmo is no more around them. Hill's boyfriend was the one who saw the chihuahua being picked up by the bird in its beak. The incident took place in Paignton, Devon. Hill has now an appeal on Facebook to help her find their pet. Becca told Devon Live, "My partner was in the garden putting the washing out at the time and suddenly he saw it swoop down. It carried Gizmo a fair way as we couldn't see him anymore. I have no idea if he was dropped or where he is now." Chihuahua Accidentally Consumed Marijuana Edible! Video of Stoned Dog Goes Viral.

The four-year-old pet was playing in the backyard garden when the bird swooped down for an attack. Hill has also distributed flyers and leaflets in the local area in the hope to find him. On her Facebook she posted, "Please, please, please, anyone finds a chihuaua he's mine a seagull has took him from my garden. Bottom of Maridon Road, Paignton. Have a really upset 6 year old missing her dog." She has appealed to people to look on their rooftops for her pet. While seagulls are known to be aggressive birds, it is rare for them to carry away small animals. They often get aggressive when their chicks are in danger. Although in 2015, a pet dog was pecked to death by a seagull in her garden. We hope Hill's family is able to find their beloved pet soon.
