| More sad stories A few days ago I got a call from someone who had bought one of my baby boys several years ago. She called broken hearted because her precious little 4 pound boy was killed by an owl. She had let him out early in the morning to do his business as always, it was still dark outside. She said she always watches him but she ran in the house just for a brief moment to put down a coffee cup and she heard the bird screech. When she rushed back outside her baby was gone. She searched for him for an hour and could not find him. Later that day they found his little body. She figured the bird dropped him after grabbing him. So so sad. This morning I got another call from someone else that just lost their precious little 4 lb girl. This person had a german shepherd female that had been raised with the little yorkie. Both females were spayed and around 3 years old I think. She said the german shepherd had always been gentle but out of the blue, for no reason she turned on the little yorkie and killed her. She was devastated. The lady was so upset she said she could not even look at the german shepherd. She had the german shepherd put to sleep because she felt the attack on the little dog was so vicious that she could not be trusted. She feared she could possible turn on a child and she did not want that on her conscious. I told her I did not necessarily agree with putting the shepherd down but then I did not witness the little yorkie being killed. So friends, hold your babies close and love them. Tragedy can strike in a split second. Sometimes the unthinkable can happen. |

| I'm so sorry. Rest in peace little ones. Sometimes I feel crazy for being so over protective of my yorkies... But even the most careful people lose them. You slack for one minute or a freak thing happens and they are gone. When Suri passed I just get hoping I would wake and hear her little bark.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | OMG, I am so sorry, that is why I stand by the door when my gang is out, and they are much bigger, but we do have birds of pray in my neck of the woods and you can never be too careful. My son came home yesterday with a similar story, a little 5 pound yorkie wonder into the neighbors yard and was brutally attack by the dog in the yard. He did not make it, his wounds were too severe and the owners asked for him to be put to sleep. so sad, hugs, Carmen in nj |

| wow...this is terrible I have never heard of another household pet turning on a smaller one?? How often does this happen? I also have a JackRussell/Pug cross, she is 3 years old. So far she seems to love my little yorkie. But I do watch when they play & stop the play if I think it is getting too rough. Now I am really nervous!! |

| Ok, I'm going to have to have my daughter and husband read this because they think I'm a freak when I go outside with our furbutts. I'm always with them and I hover . . .we've had a lot of hawks in our area over the past couple years and I am petrified that they will swoop down. I will be out there with them and if I hear a hawk I scoop them up and go inside. It's crazy to think that I have to do that, really, I mean I must look like a sight freakin out over a bird squawking . . .if I'm just out there with Brody alone all I have to do is say to him "HAWK" and he lays down . . . Not sure how that would ever protect him, but he knows the word . . .

| We're out in the country and there's always hawks. In the summer I can hear owls in the tree line. Even though it's cold up here I never let the little one out without being there. They can get into trouble so quickly and have no idea what an Owl or Hawk will do to them. And it's not just an attack from the air that has me careful, there's quite a few coyote around here. It isn't limited to the country either. I've seen Hawks and Owls in the suburbs to the south. |

| These stories are very sad, but thank you for posting them as it may help many dog owners understand the dangers. People think I am paranoid about my little pup and don't understand why I keep her on a leash at all times. It is because I could not handle losing her to a big dog or owl, hawk, coyote, etc. I explain, it would be like having a pet rabbit and expecting it to be safe running loose. I am sure you can train rabbits to "come" but would you count on it in a dangerous situation? Accidents do happen, just do your best to keep your furpups safe. My heart just aches for those little ones and their families.
