My little max was attacked and killed by another dog My lil max. I miss him so much. He was 12 yrs old. Spunky and full of life. I was taking him for a bike ride that he loves bc I was on vacation and just got him back. He ran out of my apt so fast to the elevator and met up this dog. As soon as he ran up, that dog chopped on him and swung him like a rag doll. It happened in 2 seconds, I was running up to him at the same time. I was in shock, all I could think of was to rush him to the ER. I felt him dying in my arms. I couldn't do anything to save him. How do you ever recover from that? Everyone who knew me, knew max. He was all I ever had. So many friends think I should get another one but I don't know if I can. |
How awful! I'm so very sorry for your loss. :( |
Oh dear, what a horrible experience. So sorry for your loss. Sending your prayers and strength. |
How sad. RIP Max. At least he was in your arms, knowing and feeling your love as he went on to Rainbow Bridge. It's so hard to lose them. Grieving takes time. He'll always be in your heart... |
I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Max. Sending prayers for healing your way. |
I'm so sorry that this happened to your little Max. I know some of the horror and pain you must be going through and the thing to do now is to grieve all you need to for as long as you need but as soon as I was able, I would report the dangerous dog to the police and Animal Control so they can make a report of the attack, quarantine the killer dog if it hasn't had its rabies vaccine and do an investigation on the dog's history in the community to find out if it's legally a vicious dog and take appropriate steps to keep other dogs and the public safe from it. In time, your pain and grief will slowly subside but you never stop missing them, though time does help greatly. I sincerely hope that you have family and friends to support you during this horrible time and, in time, when you are ready, can consider trying to love again like you did Max. He would want that for you. |
I am very sorry for your tragic loss. Sending hugs to you. Rest in peace little Max. |
This just grieves my heart for you. So terrible to have something so devastating to happen at such a happy moment! I pray healing for your memory that this will not always take priority that the wonderful and joyous times will rise above this most painful time. I agree please check on the behavior background of this other dog. This could save the life of another precious little one. Hopefully no one else will experience this again. |
OMG!! How horrible an experience for you and your sweetie. I'm SO sad for you and SO sorry for your deep loss:( Agreed that you should take your time to grief in your own way and for ever how long it will take you. There is no specific time frame, as we are all different. Also, agreed that the other dog should be reported asap. May time relieve the deep pain you are experiencing, and that you will be able to pick up the pieces, one by one, and be able to smile when thinking of all the lovely moments you've shared. That, no one can take from you. Sending you huge hugs!!!! |
I am horrified and so sad to hear this! I am so, so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful boy Max. Hugs to you and your family. Please report the owners of the dog that did this so that it never happens again. |
I am so so sorry that this happened! My heart breaks for you and little Max. |
I am so very sorry for your loss of dear Max. Sending you comforting thoughts and hugs to you. :love: |
I am so sorry about the tragic loss of your sweet Max. An attack like that has become one of my greatest fears. MY hearts goes out to you and your beloved Max at least he was with the one he loved. MY deepest sympathies to you. God bless the newest Yorkie Angel Max. |
I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Max. No one will ever replace him-take your time and allow yourself time to grieve before you decide. You are in our thoughts and prayers. |
It was a horrible experience that many others have gone through and I am so sorry it happened to you. I know that you are having "mind movies" and reliving the experience over and over and I promise you that soon it will pass...no you won't forget it but soon the good memories of Max will replace that horrid "mind movies" you have right now. It will take some time but one day you will realize, you did all you could and thank goodness you were with him in the end...take a few minutes each day to just remember him for the good times....take care of yourself. I do NOT see anything wrong with getting a new puppy, I've done it before and it does help to lessen the agony, fill the void and to start anew. I promise you, you will not be replacing him, you will however learn to love all over again...what is not to love about a puppy???? Especially a Yorkie???? Hugs to you.... |
May your little Max Rest In Peace. I pray for you that you can grieve in peace and if you want, get another. The next won't replace Max but will give your heart something else to love. |
My heart hurts for you. I'm going through it now too. It's a suffocating pain . My man has been trying to find another puppy and has been getting frustrated by all the scams out there. He thinks it will help me heal. I hope so. I'm so sorry your little man was taken from you that way |
Please let us know how you are doing. What a tragic happening and so unexpected at a time when you were both looking forward to the bike outing. Yes, you need to report the owners and the vicious animal for sure. Please come here any time and talk to us and feel free to speak whatever is on your heart and mind about Max. It is so hard to lose them especially as Max was lost. I lost a little girl poodle a few years ago and it is better but I still have days when I miss her so and wish she was back with me healthy and happy. I had her for 16 years and that made it harder. Best wishes for you and take care of yourself now. |
Ugh what a horrible experience. I can't imagine. My heart is with you. |
Oh how tragic to lose your baby that way. Please do not blame yourself and remember you were a good parent. Hopefully these other people did something about their dog attacking your baby. Take one day at a time I know this is such an awful thing to go through. Susan |
I'm so sorry for the loss of precious little Max. It must have been horrible for you to witness that. I know that Max felt your presence and love in his last moments. I understand how you feel about getting another pup, I remember feeling that way when I lost my first yorkie Fannie. I swore I couldn't love another, or go through that pain of loss again. I eventually changed my mind (I'm so glad I did!). Take as much time as you need, you will know if/when the time is right to add another pup to your life. My heart is breaking for you. Rest in peace little Max. |
How very tragic for you, all before your eyes, an image that will stay with you for a long time, sorry to say. Cry it all out, take one day at a time. Oct 1st will be one years I had to put my beautiful 17 y/o down, but it feels just like yesterday. For 6 weeks all I did was cry, it was just me and her, now I was totally alone. When ppl would ask did I live by myself I would say no, I with with my dog. It was a tragic loss for me. Nothing like what you went through. Max will live forever in your heart. When I had to put my girl down I swore no more dogs, the pain of losing them is getting to over whelming. Then I received a call from my vet, the rescue team she works with just bought in a lil 2 1/2 y/o lil boy. I told my vet all the reasons why I couldn't / did not want another dog. In a nut shell I ended up adopting him the next day. You never replace a pet, each baby is diff, they have their own lil personalities. Bringing Cody in to my life made my house a home again, I was in a very dark place for 6 weeks, Cody rescued me. I think of my lil girl every day, but that hole in my heart is now filed with love for my special lil boy. He help me cope with the loss of a long time friend and companion. Think about another baby, maybe even a rescue one, rescues are so rewarding to know you saved a life and giving them a 2nd chance, rescues become very special to you. Grieve, cry, get all the hurt out, but please think about filling that void the will remain in your heart with a lil fur baby that needs a loving mom and a happy home. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayer to help give you strength through this painful time. (((hugs))) |
Max I am so sorry to hear about Max. Try to remember how blessed he was to have someone who loved him as much as you. That feeling of love you had for him indicate that Max had a very happy, content life. |
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you! Hearing your story gives me the chills! My Gus was attacked but a German Shepherd. The images are still so vivid. We were able to get him to the Vet in time and he survived. Do you know who the owner of the dog who attacked? |
dog I am so sad for you and little Max. I will pray for comfort from this awful incident. We must be very careful when we take our dogs out. I carry spray stuff in case another dog attacks. Take a big stick or something and always have your dog on leash. Just go to safe places, the park you take a big chance. Little Max may you be up there running over that beautiful bridge with my Teddy Peanut. He was 10. May the Creator of all our precious dogs send you peace and comfort at this time. |
I can't express how sorry I am to read about your loss. It is beyond imaginable to me! Please cherish the memories you had with your Max to get you through this time! May he rest in peace and know you will see him again! It will take time but you will get through this. So sorry and my prayers are with you! |
My prayers and love to you!!!! What can I do to help!! I'm right here for you. I lost my precious April 3 months ago. I miss her everyday. I'm praying for Max he walked over the rainbow playing with my Apr. GOD Bless You precious. I'm right for you!!!! |
May God be with you during g this difficult time. Someone sent to me...please read <3 Living Love If you ever love an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember . . . The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your young new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked numerous opinions of many vets, or done long research in finding a breeder. Or, perhaps in a fleeting moment, you may have just chosen that silly looking mutt in a shelter -- simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore, and claim its special place in your hall or front room -- and when you feel it brush against you for the first time -- it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through the many years to come. The second day will occur eight or nine or ten years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your longtime friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you once saw energy. And you will see sleep when you once saw activity. So you will begin to adjust your friend's diet -- and you may add a pill or two to her food. And you may feel a growing fear deep within yourself, which bodes of a coming emptiness. And you will feel this uneasy feeling, on and off, until the third day finally arrives. And on this day -- if your friend and whatever higher being you believe in have not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own -- on behalf of your lifelong friend, and with the guidance of your own deepest Spirit. But whichever way your friend eventually leaves you -- you will feel as long as a single star in the dark night. If you are wise, you will let the tears flow as freely and as often as they must. And if you are typical, you will find that not many in your circle of family or friends will be able to understand your grief, or comfort you. But if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through the many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul -- a bit smaller in size than your own -- seems to walk with you, at times, during the lonely days to come. And at moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, you may feel something brush against your leg -- very very lightly. And looking down at the place where your dear, perhaps dearest, friend used to lie -- you will remember those three significant days. The memory will most likely to be painful, and leave an ache in your heart-- - As time passes the ache will come and go as if it has a life of its own. You will both reject it, and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache. But there will be, I assure you, a fourth day when -- along with the memory of your pet -- and piercing through the heaviness in your heart -- there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with each animal we have loved, and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love -- like the heavenly scent of a rose that remains after the petals have wilted, this Love will remain and grow -- and be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It is the legacy our pets leave us when they go. And it is a gift we may keep with us as long as we live. It is a Love which is ours alone. And until we ourselves leave, perhaps to join our Beloved Pets -- it is a Love we will always possess. ~~by Martin Scot Kosins |
'Maltese', what a touching tale about how 'you got rescued'. Thanks for sharing, and giving hope to those who cannot even imagine opening their hearts to another after a tragedy. One YTer, Stormchaser, who was in a deep and dark place, did eventually get another Yorkie... after a very long time. I wish that he would come on and share his story and happy ending; eventhough it took him a long time to open his heart to another. We all grieve in our own time and way. I am always impressed how you all have each other's back here on YT. What a great bunch!! I'm not always checking the new posts, due to 'life getting in the way', but when I do there is always something to learn from cheery stories and sad ones alike. Hugs to you all:) |

Lots of ppl friends and family members cannot understand the pain we suffer when we lose a beloved pet. These furbutts are not just pets, they go beyond the word PET. They are our best friend, companion, a non-judger, ask for nothing and give everything, for us that live alone, we are never alone, we have our lil best bud. ppl say "it's just a dog" my friends, family all know what all my babies have meant to me, still say the same thing, "it's just a dog". You have to be a person that has owned, loved, slept on the floor for the sake of an injured baby, hand feed when they would not eat, in other words, a devoted fur parent to know the pain you are in when you loose your best friend. Many YT members have been through this, they know the pain and suffering one goes through. We all wish we could take the pain away from a member that has recently lost their lil fur baby. YT is a loving, supportive group devoted to the breed, and not just the breed,to all animals. Before joining YT I thought there were only 2 nuts on this planet that catered to our yorkies, that would be myself and my best friend. Since joining YT I am happy to know I am not a nut lol, there are thousands of yorkie lovers out there so in love with the breed and all animals in general. Finding YT by accident, was the BEST accident I ever had lol. Yes, YT members are a great devoted bunch of caring people. |
