That's just awful

! I guess it's a good lesson for all of us who bring our babies in with us, keep AWAY from strange dogs. Even small ones, you just never know what the temperament will be. I my heart just breaks for those poor people, I can't even imagine that happening to my Bella

That's so sad. The poor woman must be devestated.

I don't trust big dogs at all anymore. Two years ago, I had a yorkie ripped out of my arms by a black lab while I was out walking him one day (in my own neighborhood). The owner of the black lab, had him on a leash but couldn't hold him back. I saw the dog coming and was picking my baby up when he got him. I had to have him put to sleep because he severed his spinal column and was in so much pain. It was the most horrible thing I've ever experienced. I had nightmares for almost a year and will always miss my Kramer.

I threatened to sue the owners and they paid me so that I could get another yorkie. I still walk my dogs but I carry a bat and pepper spray. I don't hesitate to use the bat if a dog comes at us. I've actually used it on 3 different dogs.

Never trust another big dog with your little ones. The owner of this lab said he had never been mean to another dog before.

Sometimes I think the large dogs must think the little dogs are stuffed animals or if they love chasing squirrels, then they may think that's what they are. I don't think most of the attacks are from aggressive dogs, just stupid mistakes stupid dogs make.
Our dogs have never had one paw on any store floor. We take a sheep fleece pad that fits perfectly in the cart and that's where they go. I don't take chances with mine.
