[Fluff] My dog finally caught a squirrel and didn't know what to do with itDog Talks

Something interesting happened last night. Raven was in the yard after dinner, there were some squirrels on the big tree doing squirrel things. She was barking and jumping at them (as usual, nothing weird there, she would never be able to reach them). I could see from the couch out the window the squirrels running around the tree and barely see her head pop into the window frame as she jumps (lol). Some time passes; haven't heard her barking in a bit, asked my fiance to check on her, make sure she's not being naughty.

"She's got a squirrel..!"

"WHAT? are you sure?!"

"Yeah, she's got one...!"

He goes outside to tell her to leave it, I peek out the window and there's a squirrel laying on it's back, moving a little bit, no blood anywhere, no signs of any ripping or tearing or any sounds, just a squirrel flopped over, seemingly in shock as she was just nudging it with her mouth (we do not think she had bitten it at all). I get her to sit and stay at the door (it had just rained so her feet are all muddy and she needed to be wiped down).

She had the happiest look on her face.

TLDR: a squirrel somehow ended up on the ground (either by Raven jumping to grab it or a casualty of some squirrel antics) and Raven didn't kill it, but if we hadn't seen her in time who knows how it would have ended.

The squirrel is okay and eventually made it back up the tree to tell it's squirrel friends all about it's near death experience. We saw and heard it's friend up the tree on a branch, calling for it in that weird squirrel language, so we are guessing they were in the midst of a squirrel ritual that went haywire.
