One of my biggest fears when walking my two little Yorkies is that they get attacked by some dog. I don't trust any dogs near mine. Jake was actually attacked by another little Yorkie when he was 10 months old and I had to pull them apart. Jake was always a friendly dog before that incident, nowadays he barks at every dog he comes across. If I happen to see a dog without a leash on my walks, I usually sweep up my Yorkies into my arms, and defend them as best I can. When I was around 10 years old my mother sent me off on a walk with my little dog which was attacked by a large dog. I was helpless and just watched and cried. Now in my 60s I still remember that day with great sadness. |
