alot of people don't remember the cute little dog on the old 'little rascals' was one of this type of breed. I don't care for them myself, but bred and trained properly they are good dogs. The problem is that they are genetically built to do more damage in a 'kill' mode than other breeds due to the design features of their jaws. They lock on and kill quickly. Add to that mix not the breed of dog but the new breed of owners... That is the killer combo.. Redneck bonehead owners that are not lazy about their responsibilities but actively encourage the dogs to be aggressive. I would be willing to bet that in this instance they were bragging to their friends about their dog killing the 'rat sized dog' and how quick he did it. They are proud about that kind of behavior and encourage it.
Yorkies are 'bait' size for these types of dogs.
Unfortunately, yes, dogs are legally considered property. We need laws to make these idiots start paying through the nose for their property destroying our property.
