| Pitbull killed Yorkie Did anyone watch animal cops last night? It was so so sad. A woman had just come out of a store with her little yorkie and a bed that she had just bought him.... and while she was chatting with another woman who was sitting outside the store with her dog a man came down the street with this pitbull who was not on a leash and the pitbull attacked the Yorkie......killing it. This poor woman was so distraugt...I was balling my eyes out. I now will NEVER walk anywhere in public where there may be other dogs with Louie unless he is either in his bag or on a leash and in my arms. |

| That's is so sad! I can't watch that show because I would be too depressed for the rest of the night. How awful for that poor woman. I wouldn't take my eye off of my yorkie in a public area. This story shows that you never know what can happen. |

| I watch that show every night. It's really a shame. We have to be so careful of our little ones.

| That is so sad! I always get worried when we see a pit bull, even if the yorkies are in my arms. I can just feel the pit bull looking at us with its mouth watering

| Not all pitbulls are bad. The owner is the problem. In Asia's puppy class 1 of the other students was a 6 month old pitbull. Asia and the dog sniffed each other in greeting and then the guy took him over and told it to sit and stay. The dog did it. He was the best behaved puppy in the class. That young man is a great owner. But I agree, I always watch closely whenever Asia meets a new dog. Any dog! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | that is sad but i think the owner should be put down he was the one walking the dog off a leash and he had to know his dog was aggressive i would never walk brownie off a leash or have him around other dog i know what he would do that guy should not have a dog and i think the dog needs a better home that they could train him |

| I would sue too. Especially since the guy didn't have his dog on a leash. |

| that's awful... i feel so sorry for that poor woman and her Yorkie... that pitbull DOES need to be put down, or at least wear some kind muzzle... we need some sort of SOFB campaign, instead of SOS (save our furbabies)

| It isn't the dogs fault it's the owner ! Obviously the dog should have been on a lead and or muzzled that's something only the owner can control. Putting the poor dog down is not very fair. |
