Carla, you are very sweet to think of other people's feelings. Although I have not had a dog harmed by a hawk, I don't think anyone would be offended by your title. It is very appropriate because it conveys the shock and a warning that birds are not the only threat that can swoop in.
I understand your concerns too about teaching Yazmin to like people, and about dressing her up. She will likely attract just as much attention nekkid because she is so adorable. I'm angry for you that the simple joy of taking your doggie out for a stroll has been robbed from you. I pray you will feel at least semi-comfortable again one day, but I understand not being completely comfortable. When I walk my boys, I feel like I am always on edge looking for loose dogs.
