Exactly this
We had a member here a couple of yrs ago , he was fairly new & was completely in Love with his dog. This poor man was only a member for a short time when he was standing at the kitchen sink & went to turn away from the sink & he stepped rite in the middle of his baby killing it. Needless to say he was totally & completely devastated, I have not seen him back since this terrible accident. There was another member who's baby jumped off the couch & hit it's head on the coffee table & died rite there & then. If this had been a big dog or even a 10 lb dog most likely the worst thing that would have happened is a possible hematoma but certainly not instant death. And NO yorkies are not stupid, however they all think they are much bigger then they actually are. My Jazz is just sure she's at least a Lab, lol & my Ben is quite sure that he's a Pit Bull & wants to kill any dog that's bigger then he is & has my Wolfhound believing he's the devil, lol.
