LEHIGH VALLEY, PENNSYLVANIA — A brave dog is lucky to be alive after being snatched by a bird out looking for its next meal. <br /> <br />WFMZ reports that little Zoey had been playing in the backyard one snowy day, when she was spotted by an American bald eagle. <br /> <br />Immediately, the hungry predator swooped down and snatched the 8-pound bichon frise with its talons. Her owner's brother, who had been looking after her and the other dogs, was sent into a panic. <br /> <br />Zoey's owners searched all over the area.for her, but weren't successful. <br /> <br />Thinking their pet dead, the family put out a post on Facebook, asking for help to at least locate the pup's body so they could bury it. <br /> <br />Zoey though, miraculously survived and was found some 4 miles away. Her rescuer nursed her back to health and later located her owners via the public post. <br /> <br />Zoey has since been happily reunited with her family, though it may take a while before she ventures outside again.
