The woman heard me yelling at her dog and came out and I told her what happened...twice!!!! and I could hear her husband yelling from inside the house to get the dog in!. We now go a differnent way but I can't tell you the number of times I've seen dogs out on the front lawn with their owners. They DON'T have them under control. I was at my sons house one day when he was having a potential buyer through so I took his two dogs for a walk in his neighborhood and so many dogs came barking like crazy up to these little 4 foot high fences. I couldn't wait for the walk to end!. Sorry for rattleing on but this is really a pet peeve of mine.

This is really scary...would even be startling for me without having a dog with me....Why don't you get one of the dog strollers and then keep the Yorkie in it until you get past this miserable house....Some people are just so inconsiderate. It has happened many times that larger dogs manage to grab Yorkies and tear them apart like a stuffed animal. You are very right to be so concerned.
