Yorkies may be small but they're fearless. Just after Hurricane Katrina, we were sweltering so had the house open to let some air in. We had a baby gate at the front door but I had opened it to feed the cat. Just then someone came walking by on the street with a Rottweiler. Archie and Caty bolted out before I could catch them and headed straight for the Rottie (luckily he was on a leash). Anyway, they got to him in about 2 seconds and starting running circles around him, in opposite directions, and barking like crazy at him. That poor Rottie was so confused he didn't know which way to turn, his head going back and forth trying to just keep up with them. I got to them very quickly and scooped them up, thanking the Rottie's owner for being able to hold on to his dog and apologizing for my dogs being so mean
. Though it was my fault it happened and they were being 'bad', it was amazing to see their instincts. They really are big dogs in little bodies.
