Possum!!!!!!

[ironmike86]

Possums have large sharp teeth. Neighbor had there Springer Spaniel get into it with a possum. Took a big bite out of there dog. Had to get several stitches. A full grow Possum can do damage to a Yorkie. If cornered.

But I guess it depends where you live. They are like medium size cats up here

A good sized cat can do the same thing. Opossum's are nocturnal so unless you are out really early or at night you usually do not see them, just like skunks.
The main thing is they are not attack animals. They feed off the land and road kill. They don't attack unless they feel threatened. Keep the dogs away and you won't have a problem with a opossum.

Yes but ppl think they won't do any harm. Ime they will if the small dog goes after them.
