It wasn't you
Someone said the lady shouldn't be walking her dog and I found that wrong somehow. I do worry about big dogs attacking because of Luna's barking, so I have her in the stroller for the most part. She doesn't really like to walk too far anyway, the little princess
My first Yorkie, Starr, was attacked by a neighbor's off-leash Pit, she was barking her head off, she just didn't like that particular dog and she was very protective of my daughter, who was walking her. The dog came flying at her from the garage, bit and shook her, and jumped all over my daughter and her friend. The neighbor came out and called his dog. Thankfully she didn't get hurt too badly, just a couple of punctures that were superficial. My daughter, however, was traumatized and it took her years to be able to be around bigger dogs. The neighbor was mad that I called Animal Control about the incident because he was told to obey the leash laws, and was whining about not being able to have his dog "just hang out in the garage with me"
But he did keep that dog behind the fence thereafter
I think that I would love to take Luna to some kind of training but just really can't afford it right now, not with a kid in college
So I use extra caution in the meantime.
