Yes. Great horned owls are large and powerful Birds of Prey and could kill a small dog if it wanted to. however, most owls prefer to hunt much smaller animals and most will not touch your pets unless they are really hungry or they have a good reason; say if a cat was in a tree too close to their nest.

yes! Specially if Owl attack them in pure darkness. Owls are very violent birds. Eagles can get very hurt in a confrontation with Owls. Owls attack vultures and night grabbing them by the neck and suffocating them. Now look at the size of a vulture comparing to eagle. There is a video on YouTube when Owls attack you will see how she attacked the vulture at night. Eagles can struggle to come out alive. In day time both birds avoid each other.

The usual diet of an owl is mice and other rodents. It would have to be a very small dog for the owl to catch, kill and eat it.
