Good Luck!
That actually happened in Tampa I believe... I know I saw it in the news here not that long ago. I was even considering adopting one if we ever move to a house, instead of a condo.

I definately wouldn't recommend getting a full size one if you have a yorkie. Since they're trained to chase rabbits, it's easy for them to mistake a yorkie for a stuffed rabbit.
