In reality if someone owns a guard dog for that purpose just to guard their property and keep strangers off then you have to expect that kind of reaction, the pit was doing what it was trained to do and that was to protect it's home. NO it is not right that a precious yorkie lost it's life, but at the same time again I must stress this I do not blame the pit, I blame the pits owner. It's obvious the dog was trained to react in that manner when something or someone entered it's territory. Maybe you could sue the pitbulls owner for training it's dog to be so vicious.
I absolutely feel it isn't the pits fault.. it is the owners who trained it. That is what my meaning is on making a report. No one is going to go warn the pit. they are going to put the OWNERS on notice. If they REQUIRE having such a vicious dog to protect property or any reason really, then their yard should not be so easily accessible by an innocent animal or child. If a yorkie could just walk over onto the property, then either they didn't have a fence, or they had some pretty big holes in it. I guess I just don't think it is right to have such a vicious animal used as protection, then leave the front door (so to speak) wide open.
