Yes, Yorkies really don't understand just how little they are. Yoda is completely fearless as well. One time, a big dog even tried to eat Yoda!
We never let ANYONE pick him up, unless it's a family member. It just isn't safe. He's squirmed out of more than one pair of hands, luckily, he wasn't injured each time. For kids or anyone that wants to pet him, we tell them to avoid petting his face, just his back is fine, and we say, "if he lets you." Yoda is smart and avoids most of the more aggressive small children. And with other dog owners, we always ask if they are friendly or not before we let Yoda play. But Yoda wants to play with just about ANY dog.
They let Gizmo out to pee, I assume they let him do that before as well, just this time, a sadistic bastard was out there. I really don't think they should let a 2lb Yorkie out in the street alone like that however. We only let Yoda out on the fenced in back porch area to pee/poop and we always keep a lookout for anything that could potentially harm him. I personally believe that person did kick the dog, though.
Thank you for your kind words, this is a great community here. I've learned plenty from all the Yorkie fans.
