| I would have been screaming and going crazy seeing that. Poor Ginger. Take her to the vet and make certain she does not have any internal injuries. I worry about that because our little ones are so fragile . it angers me that those dogs were out on the lose and attacked your little Yorkie. Thankfully she seems to be ok. But, I still am mad at what happened.

| I live in Colleyville, Texas and we do have a leash law here! My fiance does all the communicating with the ownder since he is the rational one. She has it in her head that she doesn't have to leash them since they were on her property and she said I came running up to her property and got her dogs all excited. I was actually jogging on the sidewalk and the last time I checked sidewalks are public property. Anyway, the Animal Control officer has been trying to contact this owner for the past two days. She left two notices on the door. The notices were removed, but there has been no contact, so the animal control said she was going to issue a citation and since I got scratched and bruised on my arm, the dog would have to be quarantined for 10 days. I feel a little bad that this has to happen since Ginger doesn't seem to be seriously injured, but this all could have been avoided if she had her crazy dog on a leash and we have a little girl in our neighborhood and I want to ensure this doesn't happen again!! Thank you for all your comforting words and support. Ginger gives kisses to you all!!

| slantyeyedgirl can't you press charges or sue? 1. leash law was broken 2. owner did not try to see if your dog was ok - meaning that's happened before... (criminal negligence) 3. your dog was limping - that is being hurt

We live in a small neighborhood, I would really hate to have to do that, especially since Ginger has no major injuries. Maybe she will walk away with a lesson not to let her dogs run loose!

This owner needs to learn that there are leash laws for a reason! and I guess she needs to learn the hard way!

| Lab Attack... Man are you lucky. We have a wee one and a lab .. our lab attacked the little one like that last year ... she punctured her trachea ... we nearly lost her. I now maintain a home divided. Anyway, I think it is absolutely necessary that you march over to that neighbor and demand she leash those dogs. It is certain to happen again. Check your local code inforcement ... you are likely to discover there are codes requiring dogs to be leashed. Please follow up before either you or somebody else is not quite so lucky next time ... and make no mistake, there will be a next time. Believe it, were that me, that neighbor may want to move by the time I got done with her. Judyann |

| I'm so glad that Ginger is OK. I got attacked while walking my yorkie, Booboo, he is about 13 lbs but a Jack Russell came flying out of a neighbors house and I grabbed him up in my arms and the Jack just bit his butt and pulled out some of his hair. This was atleast 4 years ago and Booboo still is scared to walk and doesn't like to be around dogs he doesn't know. I tried to resocialize him right away but he didn't want anything to do with other dogs anymore. I'm so glad Ginger got right back to her walking, she's one tough chick!!

| Thank Goodness Ginger is okay! I am curious about a zapper? I've gotten so I'm afraid to take Maxwell on walks and he LOVES walks. I'm always looking ahead in case I have to put him into a mailbox or garbage can if a big dog comes along. Sometimes even if they are on a leash, they can pull hard and get your dog anyway. It does not make for a "healthy" outing if I'm a nervous nelly. What about that zapper? Is it a legal device? Have you had to use it? |
