Someone commented on another thread about being too over protective of these little dogs. I guess I am guilty of over protection. Some big dogs do see our little Yorkies as something other than a dog. I think they just see that furry little thing and assume it is something they should go after. While some dogs are more aggressive than others sometimes just the size and the way some little ones move can provoke an attack by even a very friendly dog......a dog you might not suspect would attack.
I have been through two dog attacks in my life. One on one of my young children and one against one of my dogs. It's a terrifying experience. Both of the attackers were considered "friendly" dogs.
I'm sorry for the horror the OP must have gone through and I hope hearing of this will make each of us a bit more cautious in the days to come. |
