Wow, that is really terrible. Thankful we don't have to deal with anything like that. We live in the mountains and I will take the Bob Cats, Cyotes, Rattle Snakes any day for my neighbors before someone like that. To threaten you with turning his large dog loose, I think he most likely would. Be very careful, it's not worth the chance of you or your yorkie getting attacked. I don't know how the police are there in your area but I know in the closest city to us, when first consulted, it usually takes an incident to happen before they get involved. I wouldn't want to live in the city again for anything. We was to the city today, when I went to back out of the handicapped parking spot a man was waiting for my spot but he wouldn't back up to allow me room to get out, so I motioned him to go on, he parked four vehicles away and then came up to my window and started yelling profanity at me, I think he used every name he could think of. I rolled my window up and went on. We are living in just terrible times. I am so sorry this had to happen to you. Take care and be careful. Patti and ~~Baby Blessing~~
