I feel for you because it is so emotionally traumatic and not only are you sad but rightfully angry. BUT this is not your fault, it is his, no one should be keeping a dog in a neighborhood that is vicious and that is what his dog is if it would just run out and attack for no reason. His dog attacked and killed your dog, not vise a versa. There are thousands of yorkie owners that have well behaved dogs that are off leash in their front yard, that does not give other dogs a license to attack them, please don't let him make you feel like you did something wrong.

I would also talk to the police and everyone that you can, I assume other neighbors have kids or dogs perhaps they could demand he do something. Is this a neighbor you know? Does the owner own the home he lives in? eventually you might even be able to take him to small claims court. For me I felt getting justice and having that Husky gone helped me in the grieving process because I felt I owed it to Reggie not let it go unpunished. If a neighbor's kid damaged your car or your bike you would be able to demand restitution a dog even though we think of them as family are considered our property and the owner should be held responsible.

Please know how much my heart hurts for you and understands what you are going through.

Going on and Getting Another
 

My family wants to get another puppy asap... Im torn... I actually threw out everything that was hers.. the bed.. the toys.. .the food... I could not even be in the house one more moment...

We buried her with her BEAR and her hair in a bow and her favorite dress...

AND how to you get another... There will never me that perfect ana... THAT perfect personality that was JUST what we needed...

Im torn with filling the void and trying not to replace ana.. I KNOW there will never be another.. im just afraid I will want her/he to....

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE... EVERYONE.. all of your words and advice had simply taken a bit of the pain away...

PS.. I hope the shepard is put down.. NOT because i blame him.. but I cant imagine someone else going through this... AND EVEN a child walking...
I cant imaging suing... I want justice for ana and that 5 minutes of absolute FEAR she had before she died.... but I just dont know if I can handle it...

MY heart has a hole the size of a yorkie... and her name was Ana Boo Berry

Oh I hurt for you. I cry just reading your text. Life is tough and we jst cannot understand why things happen the way they do. In this life we will have tribulation. All of us on Yorkietalk are with you in spirit through this. Little Ana is over the rainbow bridge and she is safe in the arms of Jesus. That is where my Yorkies and Poodles went. To a beautiful unimaginable place. I got another dog after Teddy Peanut left us. You should get another Yorkie. We have to go on and it is so hard. Another Yorkie will bring love and joy. You were blessed with Ana and you will be blessed with a new dog. When all goes down I trust in Jesus and let Him take away the pain. He will send peace and you will know in your heart little Ana is happy and content. Read the rainbow bridge poem it brings me comfort. An excellent child's book by Cynthia Rylant called Dog Heaven. Beautiful.

I am so sorry for the lost of your little Ana. What a tragedy sending you much prayers.

My heart aches for you and all the sadness that surrounds your loss of Ana.

I can't even imagine what you must feel, every moment of the day, but it clearly is horrible. I lost a beloved pup 5 years ago, she died unexpectedly in her sleep, and it was devastating to me, but even that is not as horrific as your loss.

I started looking for another pup immediately and within about a month was able to bring my Tiki home. There is no replacing the one you lost, but opening up your heart to giving and receiving love of a new pup can bring new joy into you life. Take a little time to heal, and you will know when it is right. Some people do it sooner, and some later, and only you can know what is best for your family.

Sending you hugs and prayers that you will find some comfort in the coming days.

So so sorry this happened to your baby. Just Aweful!

I'm so sorry for your loss. How tragic!

I am so sorry I actually got nauseous reading your post. Buster is so good that he has been out front without a leash as well. I always look around but your story brought home vividly how terrible things can happen in a split second. Bless you and the newest Yorkie Angel Ana Boo Berry. At least when she left this earth she was in your arms, the person she loved the most in the world. Oh my I am so so sorry words fail me I am just sitting here crying for your pain and for your sweet baby...I am so very sorry.

I have thought of you so much since reading your tragic news and praying for God to comfort you. I feel so horribly awful and wish I could do something to help you. I send lots of hugs and love.

Yesterday..
 

Was probably the hardest day.. Almost like the night my father dies unexpectantly 11 years ago.. It took my breath away...

I sat at my computer and just sobbed.. I keeped cluthing my shoulders where she laid her head... I CANNOT get the attack images out of my head... How do you do that.. How do you remember the good times when all i can hear are two last breaths..

I dont mean to discriptive.. I just dont know how to tell my hurt...

I went downstairs to the basement and she didnt folow me.. The house is quiet.. There are no toys.. No dishes.. NOT one pee pad that annoyed me..

Boo isnt there to dance for me .. Or play hide and seek which was her favorite..
How did i get a puppy with the most amazing personality.. The perfect funny.. Perfect obedience.. The way she loveddddd to snuggle. We made her a perch in the front window cause she was so nosey.. We called it ana's cabana.. She sat there all day.. And now its empty

My husband told me when im ready we could look for another yorkie (needless to say it wasnt his dog choice..and yet she was daddys girl).. I know it wont be ana but all the things that made ana special.. I would be lost without them.. Humor, cuddling...

Thank you all for even small words of sympathy.. I have read everyone over and over...
I send comfort to those with losses and pray my ana is whole again.. Eating french fries, and play round and round the tree with your babies

Jnet
P.s. not once have the people across the street come to express their sadness.. How do you go on living with such anger...

I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

I pray that God sends you peace and comfort.
I am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry! So so sorry for your loss, thinking of you.

As well as the trauma of losing your girl you will be in terrible shock. If I can help at all in any way, just PM me.

What an awful thing to happen.

OMG!!! How devastating!! SOOOOOO sorry to hear of your devastating loss:( You are so totally in my thoughts today and I can\'t even imagine what you are going through:(

I just sent you a PM with important information regarding Animal Control in Buffalo.
