    Dogs like squeaky toys because the squeaks remind them of the death screams of small animals.

      Yep. She violently shakes her toys to “kill” them all the time too. I’ve seen her do it to break a critter’s neck the same way.

        My boy caught a mouse once. He really worked for it too, he had little bits of moss stuck to his nose when I found him. When I told him it was time to go inside he just shook his head to kill it and headed for the door like it would just be okay to bring it in lol. Had to pry it out of his mouth.
