♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | I thought it was going to rip her to pieces I took my 2 babies to our local field for their run with their balls like I do everyday but wasn't expecting what came next. I checked the field for other dogs as always and saw none so let them off their leads. I threw Ollys ball and he returned it very quickly however when I threw Tias ball I heard a man shout "get here" . With that ,a huge staff had got under a fence from his property and charged towards Tia . Olly was at my feet waiting for me to throw his ball again but I picked him up quick and shouted to Tia to "come" however being friendly she was saying hello to this staff which was towering above her( shes 6lb) then it started to get aggresive toward her and she ran toward me screaming. I also was screaming at the man to get control of his dog which didn't take a blind bit of notice of him. All I could visualise was my 3 year old baby being ripped to bits by this dog just like a few of my friends with smaller dogs had been. Anyhow she tried to get to me but he was right on her heels and she was afraid to stop as he would then have her in his jaws so I grabbed the staffs collar and he turned to bite me but didn't succeed however his strength pulled me over and I was still holding Olly . I got up pretty quick and was screaming at the man to get his dog which he managed eventually.I grabbed Tia and she was so scared she had pooed herself down my jacket! He apologised for his dog getting under the fence and trying to attack my dog when his dog broke free from his hold and proceeded to jump up at me to get to both of my dogs. I was screaming once more . He grabbed it and left. I couldn't stop shaking and cuddling both my babies when I got home and now I feel a nervous wreck when I take them out.

| I do not even know what to say except Thank God all of you are ok. I was terrified reading your story. I am so sorry the 3 of you had to experience this.

| God Bless you, I can't imagine how terrified you were. I am so glad that your baby started running to you, but all 3 of you could have been killed or injured. I don't think I would ever want to go there again.

| I am so sorry, and I am relieved that you and your little ones were not injured! You poor thing, I would have been scared out of my mind. I can't believe the man lost control of his dog and that it went after you a second time. Just terrible.

| Oh my goodness that was a lucky escape for all of you! That is such a fear of mine. Whenever I am out with Buster I am always looking up and down the street as many people walk their big dogs off leash. It is so scary because no matter how vigilant you are something can happen in a second. I am so glad everybody is ok.

| How awful. I am so sorry that this happened to you and your doggies. I am always afraid to read attack stories because, so often the Yorkie is mauled or killed. I am so glad that you, Tia and Olly were not badly injured. I hope that the owner of the other dog will never let this happen again.

| That is like one of my worst nightmares. I am always peeking around every corner when we walk or on every trail to see what is ahead or coming toward us. NOT that it would do me much good if they were charging toward me. My WORST nightmare is that if I were able to pick both of them up (my Westie is 16 lbs ) and the big dog were to jump on me to get at them. Just like what really happened to you. I am so glad you are ok. I'll bet you were so scared!
