Without any sort of attack or ambush that I can see, I just got the message "The stray war dog (tame) has been struck down" three times in a row.  The corpses vanished, nowhere to be found.

I think what happened, and this is largely guesswork on my part, is that they died of old age while assigned to a rope, which for some reason mande them poof (I'm guessing this since a few others dropped from old age around the same time).

The struck down message is unusual though, since it requires combat, but I don't think there's an ambushing creature that fails to spring from ambush when it attacks.  Since the dogs weren't named, it's probably not the (probably now fixed) disappearing cage bug.  Maybe one of the death notices is flawed, but if the corpses are gone, that's weird.

It could be that they chased some animal far away, then attacked it and lost.

I'm getting the "struck down" message all the time without combat... from the butcher.

Well, combat is... maybe the wrong word.  It requires a violent death by a strike of some kind in general.
