That is horrible!! Poor baby, I hope he get to feeling better soon. I don't care how friendly a dog is, there are always situations and unexplained reasons where a friendly dog will go after another one for no reason. I have a theory, not saying that it is true, but I believe that the bigger dogs see yorkies or other really small dogs as prey, they are so small and fragile, they are just like a rabbit in sense that they are helpless when it is a 5 pound yorkie against a 80 pound or more dog. Labs for instance are used for retrieving small game and prey. I also have big dogs and I love them to death and I could say they are friendly which they are, but that does not mean that there could never be a situation as to where one of them would go after a yorkie, it is all unpredictable. Bottom line is, that lab should have been leashed and the owners are responsible for the vet bill and a fine. Did they apoligize or offer any sympathy or help?? |
