| [News] German Shepherd Kills a Yorkie! :( So much sad Yorkie news lately!!! Please be watchful of your Yorkies! We have to get the word out to protect our lil' pups! --- VINELAND, NJ -- A local attorney is charged with letting his German shepherd run loose after police discovered it may have killed a Yorkshire terrier Tuesday morning. A German shepherd was in Landis Park around 10 a.m. when it crossed Park Drive and attacked a 1-year-old terrier named Peanut, police said. Peanut was leashed to the Park Drive home of its owner, Delilah Segers. Segers said she used a vacuum cleaner to beat back the shepherd, which caused it to then attack her. Segers told police that attorney Charles Girard of East Landis Avenue came from the park and took the animal away by the collar. The shepherd was not on a leash and Girard simply went back to the park without identifying himself, Segers said. Her daughter, Diana, took Peanut to a veterinarian. But it was already dead. "I can't describe how I feel," Segers said. "There was no reason for this." Officers later found Girard in Landis Park with a German shepherd that was not on a leash, police said. The city's animal control officer said she would issue summonses to Girard for having a potentially dangerous dog and allowing a dog to run at large. Girard could not be reached Tuesday for comment. In a police report, he indicated he would sign a countercomplaint against Segers. He told police that her dog was standing near the road edge when his dog approached -- but that the German shepherd did not bite or attack. http://www.thedailyjournal.com/news/...ws/226523.html |

| Fasteddie Please don't take this the wrong way. I know you mean well, but the constant negative headlines are very upsetting. I know I don't have to read the posts, but just seeing the headlines is enough to upset me. It's gotten to the point where I am thinking of not visiting here any more. Please refrain form posting these or at least, just title your posts by saying bad Yorkie news. Thanks |

| That is so tragic. And I think the posts are okay. It reminds us to always be very vigilant when it comes to our little babies. I took my dog for a walk yesterday, and a stray big dog came running and barking at her. Luckily she was in her harness and i pulled her up and put her in my coat. The dog kept jumping up on me and I was scared to death. I am 65 and have had back surgery, so am not very agile. We should be able to walk our dogs on leashes and be safe. All dogs should be leashed when out of their yards! Now I am afraid to walk her again. But it is so good for them. |
