As all of you are aware of as adults you cannot touch a child, no matter what. However, the parent, needs a good kick in the ass > For the child to be laughing? shoot, that imo, is sociopathic behavior .
I am glad your dog is ok. How sicking for this to have happend to your poor little one. I'd would have went off. Fortunately, I look a bit intimadating to kids , I have several tattoos and a big person, so I'll I have to do is look a a child , they do not do much , after that. I have had to protect my son, from other kids, he is autistic and I know that kids are very cruel > It is always the younger ones too!
I hope your Yorkie won't be scared to go for walks now. This is so upsetting .
