You are SO RIGHT! There is a house we walk by sometimes on longer walks and my guys love to say hello to this little guy who is often running around in the yard, but George (also a Yorkie) climbs over his ~3' chain link fence to get out because he gets so excited when we walk by. This is cute and George is obviously a very talented escape artist, but it scares me that he is going to get killed some day by his owners who just don't seem to realize the risk. Even jumping down from that height is dangerous and I would NEVER let my guys out alone. NEVER! I will barely ever let them off the leash because I am worried that they will take off after a squirrel or robin, but leaving them without even watching is way over the top. Check this article our I just read... I am sure this guy thought his Yorkie was safe in a small pack, but he also almost learned a terrible lesson. And I'm sure we have all read or seen plenty of things like this...
