The dogs killed four of the five babies the next few days. My Plott hound is usually responsible for the damage. We didn't ever find the mom. When we arrived there last week I went off to check the garden and fifteen minutes later, when I returned to the house, there was a juvenile possum on the doorstep. Maybe the fifth baby from earlier in the season. My Plott hound will nail predators from bears on down to voles and snakes. She digs trenches and climbs trees. She puts them on the doorstep the way cats do. I've never met a dog bred to hunt the way this breed does. You can see here that my dog had probably already attacked her.
