Yorkie attack dog!

If this was an isolated event, Denise, I'd be more inclined to see some humor. But, you recently posted about your dog getting hurt when he was sitting on the front porch - seems he took off after some bigger dogs.

Before I could get out of the swing they were on his butt and he barely made it to the porch. Poor baby couldn't even make it to the steps, was hanging on the side by his front feet trying to get to me.

And, you've also posted about Gizmo nipping at your grandchildren:

I'm worried that you're going to lose this dog (or worse).

What a killer dog! That was so funny! I got a good laugh to start the day off right.

I guess some people are dog "shy".

I used to be that way about cats especially if they still had their claws!

....and then

if it were me, I would take the matter very seriously and make certain that there are no further incidents involving Gizmo. If Gizmo has acted in an aggressive manner (which apparently he did or the Mail Dude wouldn't have had the notice sent) he has one strike against him. If you feel like Giz has been unfairly accused then you should do what it takes to clear his name, go to the extreme of apologizing if necessary. As it stands, if Gizmo was to bite someone and they had to go to the doctor or to the hospital for treatmet, chances are the medical facility would notify the cops who could very likely come and arrest poor Gizmo and he already has one strike. "Dangerous dogs" are often euthanized without much forethought and afterthought doesn't matter.

Good luck.....

Food for thought, thanks.
