Such a sad story......I feel there has to be more to the story. The boy had to be at face level. What was the kid doing to cause the yorkie to bite that viciously! Children need to be taught how to approach a dog....first thing they need to do is "ask"! When I am out in public, I have so many children run up to me and just start petting and touching my yorkies! Sometimes they startle me at how quick and rude they are! I was walking my puppies over the weekend. We were at my daughters apartment and some children were outside playing. They asked to pet them but I said no because they need to to go potty. As we walked around the kids stayed in the area. My granddaughter (9yrs) was walking one and me the other. While I stood right there one of the kids ran up to Tatiana and picked her up!
I immediately reprimanded him about picking up a strange dog! Tatiana was on a leash and the kid was that quick!!! This is how some of these children get bit! In my opinion, is not the dogs fault when something like this happens! Sorry, I just needed to get this rant out!
