Then with more than one greyhound together, the pack instincts kick in and..well..we just read what can happen. My yorkie and my greyhound are very best buddies, but I don't let them play outside together, just to be on the safe side. I have had the greyhound for years. She is retired from the track and she is the most docile, sweetest dog ever. She's old now, and has a difficult time getting around. I'm SO sorry this happened to ANYBODY, but especially an older person. Glad there was somebody nearby willing to help. But let's not be so quick to think animals need to be put down. Put in a responsible owner's home, maybe..but not put to death because they weren't properly handled. |
Ya, that is true.. I hope the owners get a nasty fine then and should have to pay the man for the lose of his Yorkie..
