I thought it was going to rip her to pieces

So glad you were all o.k., well sort of, that must have been terrifying!My worst nightmare as I have 3 and 2 hands!!!

I read these kinds of stories all the time and get so upset that people don't have total control of their large dogs knowing very well that they would attack a small dog. If I were you I would report that. Maybe nothing will happen, but at least he would be on file in case anyone else reports him over his dog.

I agree.

Glad to hear u guys r ok!!! I would report him next time that dog could really hurt someone

[dands]

+1 on reporting the dog.

[LuvTaycieGirl]

My heart was pounding when I started reading your post. I am so glad everyone is ok. That is horribly scary.

[tjdmom]

I was scared reading your post too but I imagine not 1/4 of the way you guys felt actually being in that situation! Does it make you want to get that bear mace or something like that to protect your babies... not even sure if that would help in this situation as you probably barely had time to think.

How terrible for you! I'm so thankful you are all safe. I'd certainly report him. You were having a good time and to have it ruined by someone who doesn't control their own dog is unforgiveable.

[yorkiemini]

WOW! Glad the out come for you babies was positive. Great thinking on your part, if you had not grabbed that big dog he probably would have gotten your baby -- you are a hero for your babies

[MyTrixie143]

I'm glad you and your babies are alright!! How terrifying that must have been. I hope your babies are able to overcome this emotionally as I am sure it scared them out of their minds.

I just irks me how some big dog owners can be so irresponsible or own a dog with aggressive behavior. If he can't handle his dog he shouldn't have it in the first place. I've owned big dogs all my life and not once did they ever show any aggression to small dogs that got on our property as they were trained to get along with all dogs as all should be.

It really is scary with all these dog attacks happening to our little ones. You get to the point to where you are almost scared to take them to a public place like a field or park where big dogs might be around.

Wow...scary stuff.

You are a good writer! You had my heart pounding as I read your story.
I'm so glad it turned out well for you and your babies.

It makes me want to be more cautious when I take Copper out. I will be watching for other dogs carefully from now on.

thanks for all your support, I wanted to write about it as soon as it happened but my hands were shaking so much. I know for a fact that it was Tias quick thinking and her running speed that saved her from that attack , Olly is alot slower and surely would have been caught.She has taken to jumping in bed beside at night now since it has happened lol
thanks again for your support. x

Wow, my heart is racing after reading your story. I hope you never have to experience that again.

[yorkiedallas]

I am so sorry this happened to you. I think there are two kinds of dog owners in the world; ones who have had problems with other people's aggressive dogs, and those who have yet had the pleasure. Since I am one of the former I carry both pepper spray and a folding utility knife whenever I walk in public (check your local laws as to what sort of personal protection items are allowed in your community). Sadly they have come in handy.

I never let my yt off leash unless we are in the gated small dog park. I have had to snatch him up quickly on more than one occasion. It's just not worth the risk to not have him under my control at all times, and bad things can happen in a fraction of a second, even in one's own fenced in yard.

I am sad that you had such a horrible experience. It will stay with you for a while. But you are all safe and well and that is what is important. Best to you and your little ones, stay safe.

[MissBeebs]

That's horrible! I always carry my baby because I'm paranoid. She has free reign in the house and runs like a wild woman but outside she's in my lap or arms. I'm crazy.
