OMG! That would have freaked me out, too. Good thing someone was quick on their feet!! Doggie ok - Mommy has heart attack!!
Mine do the snatch and run all the time when they think they've gotten something they shouldn't have. Sad thing is, when it's food, I never think to go after them, I just figure they'll eat it before I can catch them. I never thought about them choking!!
I'm printing out the instructions above, and beleive you me, I'll be running after them from now on!
