Now the 2-year-old dachshund is fighting for her life after being attacked by a bald eagle -- a bird protected by law.
"It's the first animal at 68 years old I've seen him attached to. Now this happens to his dog," said his son, John Martins Jr., referring to his dad.
The eagle swooped down and snatched up the beloved 13-pound dog on March 8, carrying her about 300 feet before dropping her.
