I don't want to be a drama starter, but I have heard my fair share of stories of adults and teenagers squashing small dogs as well. Accidents can happen to anyone.

Little kids can hurt dogs by accident, and there are no second chances when your dog is under 5 lbs or so. I'm not saying you should get rid of your dog or anything, just that I would never recommend a family with small children to get a small Yorkie. I would recommend they get one about 10 lbs or so, and there are quite a few like that. |
