Hmmmm....yes but the doves that we have around here are all wary enough 
to fly if a dog gets near it.  In fact the doves around here do much better 
with the dogs than they do with the cats.  We loose a few to the cats every 
year, but the dogs rush in there, and the doves have a chance to fly up and 
get away much easier than they can from a stalking cat.

p.s. If she is really worried why not bell the dog?  Put a jingle bell on 
their collars, and that way the dogs can't get near the birds without them 
knowing they're there.  Same way with cats.  Our vet encourages the owners of 
all outdoor cats to bell their cats so that their cats find it harder to hunt 
birds.  We have alot of endangered species around here, and our vet is one of 
the volunteers who treats injured wildlife.  Mostly birds.  He says that he 
gets quite a few cases of birds that have been mauled by cats.  He even sells 
the bells out front in the office.
