Really good informative subject Junebug! I'm always looking out like a hawk when we take Yoda anywhere for any potential weirdos on scooters, people that walk really fast and clumsily, and dogs when we go to the park. It's really good to know that smacking a fierce dog in the face is the way to go if such a situation arises as I'd never thought about it before at all. I know our family would do anything to protect Yoda, and we'd just about do anything to save him in such case.
And yes, we always walk Yoda with a harness and leash. We let Yoda walk everywhere we can, even downtown Seattle (he loves it), but when there is a massive crowd of people with a chance he could get stepped on, we carry him as we don't want to take any chances at all.
The best thing is basically to always be aware of where your Yorkie is, and should danger come about, be prepared to scoop them up in your arms before any psycho bicyclist or angry dog comes for them. |
