INTERFERENCE!!!

The birds just went down for Dog #68 and he was sent for the flyer. Before he got to it, however, a dog appeared from the direction of the gallery--a yellow Lab--and scooped up the bird from nearly under his nose. 

Thus, #68 was picked up and will receive a rerun. 

Investigation is under way to reveal the identity of the offending canine.
