We bought him from a known breeder in the Virginia Beach area. He was a wonderful pet. We had previously owned 2 other dogs (boxer and dalmation) who passed away at the ages of 10 and 13. Both were wonderful loving dogs and obedience trained as was our Amer. B-dog. We are a typical middle-class family that lives in a very nice neighborhood with three children
What the story did not tell was that our 2 young kids did not close the garage door all the way and our 9 month old bulldog squeezed through the door during the afternoon and saw the 13 yr old girl walking her Yorkie. The young girl got scared and picked up her dog up. As most puppies do, our bulldog was very excited to see another dog. The young girl dropped her dog and ran away. Our bulldog went to play with the Yorkie and when he did he accidently punctured the little dogs lung. He did not maul the dog! The girl did NOT get bit which she lied about. Her arm was scratch possibly by toe nail or her own dog's studded collar. We took the Yorkie to our vet because the Yorkie owner did not have a vet. The Yorkie was not registered with the city or have any papers etc... As a matter of fact, the owner of the Yorkie did not even want to go to a vet. After the incident, we had agreed to pay the owner 2 thousand dollars immediately out of our own pocket. The next day, we were informed we were getting sued. Long story short, it went to court and the court awarded the Yorkie owner 8 hundred dollars. BUT, we had to find another residence outside the city which is where our Bulldog now lives with another wonderful family and their pets.
Now, for the interesting part. The Yorkie owner was soon evicted from her house along with her live in boyfriend with a possible criminal record!
Our family was devistated with losing our dog as well as the Yorkie owner for losing their dog. We are a gigantic pet loving family and felt awful about the whole incident. SO, for people bad mouthing our family DON'T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ UNLESS YOU ARE SURE ON THE DETAILS!!!!

So you witnessed the attack?
