DOG • PREDATION RISK
Domestic dogs -- not one individual, and not wild fauna -- that reach the paddock off-leash or through a gap in the fence line. Every dog sighting is logged under this shared entry rather than a named character. They are recorded as a predation threat: a loose dog will chase and can kill the sanctuary's smaller residents (raccoon kits, opossums, skunks, ground-foraging birds), and their scent alone suppresses nocturnal foraging for hours afterwards.
