Good lord! Probably be dead! We know of one ponder who ended up with a slew of
stitches in his face from sneaking up on a heron and getting slashed. And in
the book The Great Blue Heron by Hayward Allen, it is reported a biologist was
fatally stabbed in the head by a heron.

My labs, sofa potatoes that they are, stood on the deck and barked, 'hey, hey,
you bird, get out of here or we're fetching MOM!'

My dog is an outdoor dog. He is part border collie and part Apennzellar cattle
dog (about 50 lbs). She is gentle with kids and people, but has no fear when it
comes to other animals. You might be right about the Herons, but I suspect she
would spook them away before she ever got close enough to engage them.
Hopefully, this theory will never be tested out in real life. I hate it when
I'm proved wrong!
