My dachshund is actually getting to somewhat hunt

Earlier today while I was sitting at my desk I saw a mouse come out and start messing around near the small trash can I have in my room. We have a few traps set up around the house (none are poison bait) but none in my room. The mouse was also no near a vent so I knew it was still behind my trash can and the bins next to it. So I went to find my dachshund and let him into my room cause the past few days he's been sniffing around, looking for the mouse. He found the scent and was going around the trash can and after a few minutes he managed to get behind it and when I called his name, he stuck his head up and had the mouse in his mouth. He didn't eat it, just killed it and dropped it. I grabbed it with a paper towel and threw it outside. I gave him a treat after as a reward for getting it. Just thought it was fun that he actually got to kind of hunt something since he doesn't usually get to do a lot of enrichment type stuff.

In case anyone is worried, he is up to date on all his shots and I will make sure to keep an eye on him just in case. He's currently tracking down a second mouse.
