This morning, this woman was walking a beautiful German Shepard in front of the house. Well, my male Yorkie THINKS he's a german shepard. A friend came over just then and I yelled to her to close the door....too late. The male Yorkie took off after this GS and lit into her. The dog was startled and didn't like my dog hanging from her ear. She growled and grabbed my yorkie. She started to shake her head with him but the owner held her head still as I ran up. She dropped my dog who ran whimpering to me. I got blood all over me and ran to the car and got him to the vet.
He has some bad puncture wounds and and a broken front leg.
The owner of GS came over to apologize and I told her it was not her dogs fault. My dog was unleashed, even tho he had gotten away from me in the house. And maybe he will think twice now about going after anything close to his yard.
Just what I needed today.....a vet bill. Will someone please tell my Yorkie he isn't a German Shepard???????????????
For those of you that own German Shepards, any advice on what to do if my dog runs and attacks like that? If the owner had not been there, she probably would have killed my dog by shaking it like a rag doll. I wouldn't even begin to know how to get my dog out of her mouth. We try very hard to keep our dog in the house but he does escape at times. We may find a new home for him.....I'm afraid he might do that to a child.
