 Loose dog(s)
Do you know whose dogs they are ? This is a tough one.
A couple of months ago, my neighbor (a big burly dude, to boot) was walking the family's 7 month old cockapoo on a leash when out of nowhere, another neighbor's 100 lb. Shepherd mix ran up from behind them, grabbed the cockapoo in its jaws & literally ran down the street with it, & shook its head, etc. and killed the poor little one (massive internal bleeding). As you can imagine, the family was wrecked. They called animal control the next day.
Here in Texas, we have a "one bite" law, I don't fully understand it, but evidently, unless the dog does it again, there's not a lot that can be done legally.
For that reason, I would fin another route to take, go to the park, I don't have all the answers, only you can know, but please be EXTREMELY vigilant where loose dogs are concerned. Yorkies are so small, they don't stand a chance in a dogfight. |
