That's HORRIFIC !
If you get another one....please remember, just to be extra sure, ...to pick it up around any strange dogs(or cats)
....especially larger dogs - even if you know the larger dog a bit, I would always pick your Yorkie up - as you have found out so terribly it only takes a second, and these dogs are so tiny and defenceless - even more so if they are under 2 years, before they find their "voice".
Even your own cats or other peoples' ....until they know that a Yorkie is part of the family cannot be trusted, as to them your puppy could be a rabbit !
You also have to be aware that Seagulls, Crows, or Birds of Prey will also see a Yorkie as a meal, and can lift one away in a second.
You also have thieves to worry about, and the fact a tiny Yorkie can slip under a fence onto the road so easily as well.
These dogs take so much "mothering" - they really are babies.
I am so sorry....you really do have to have fore-sight with these tiny dogs, and that is hard if it is your first....you'll know next time that these things happen soooo easily.....I am so sorry you have to go through such heartache.....that poor puppy
