| [News] Yorkie Killed by Dog at Dog Show That's HORRIBLE! Poor lady! You would think that you're completely SAFE at a dog show! --- A Yorkshire terrier bounding off stage at a Cape Cod dog show was mauled and killed by a 100-pound canine that went into a murderous rage when he spotted the blissful terrier. The attack occurred in front of the Yorkie's 74-year-old owner, Evelyn Galloway, who had just watched her dog Libby perform in ``Pooches on Parade'' at the Dennis Senior Center. Galloway said the dog, a Bouvier des Flandres named Rafferty, pounced upon the 4-pound terrier and ``picked her up like a rag doll'' while horrified bystanders looked on. Three people were able to wrestle Libby out of the larger dog's jaws, but not before it suffered several deep puncture wounds. The terrier died during surgery at a Hyannis animal hospital. The Bouvier des Flandres was acting as a ``service dog'' during the event for its owner, Autumn Daniels of Dennisport, who uses a wheelchair. Animal Control Officer Cheryl Malone, who was at the dog show and rushed to help the terrier, said she will recommend that the Bouvier des Flandres be required to wear a muzzle in public. Meanwhile, the Yorkie's owner, who summers on the Cape and has a residence in California, has begun consulting with an attorney. http://news.bostonherald.com/localRe...rticleid=46009 |

| That is just terribly terribly sad. The owner wasn't young either, it must be dreadful for her. Bad enough when your beloved yorkie dies of old age but to lose one like this---- I just hate hearing things like this but my heart goes out to that poor lady. Ana xx |

| I have heard of aggresive tendencie of Bouvier des Flandres. A family down the road from me have one. They are huge!. He's deaf (I have heard that is common to the breed) and they have had in major dog trainging boot camp. I cross to the other side of the street when I see him.
