We've had problems with groundhogs in the backyard for a while now, so we've had to be careful to look for them before letting our dog outside. Although smaller than our dog, a groundhog can quite easily injure her.

Which is just what happened. I let my dog out, and a minute or two later I heard her barking aggressively, and saw that she had cornered a very big groundhog.

I was able to get her to back away from the groundhog and get her back inside. She's got two small wounds, one on the side of her head and one on her neck, both of which thankfully were not bleeding for very long.

My brother is going to be livid when he gets home. He is very emotionally attached to our dog, and more than likely will want to kill the groundhog.
