Adria, I do believe I've seen that exact same "yorkie" in PetSmart before too. They asked me what kind of dog my little Romeo was and I said a yorkie and they said oh yes, that's what ours is too! I swear the dog was the size of a cocker spaniel!
The ears were floppy, but it did have pretty hair and could possibly be mistaken for a "giant yorkie." I think it would be possible for one that size to hurt a human.
I wish someone could find out more about these yorkie attacks -- maybe we should ask the author of the article where the statistics came from?
