Sad Story - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just wanted to share a sad story to prevent another tragedy.

My friend crates her 4 month old puppy while she works. She left his collar on and it got caught on the latch. Poor puppy was cold when she arrived home.

She didn't even realize the danger of the collar. Maybe by sharing this story it could give someone a needed heads up.

RIP * Dawkins

omg how sad. i feel so bad

USMCgirl05 · 02-10-2008, 07:26 PM

That is really sad

I think it's a good idea to only have a collar on them when they're going outside, I would be heartbroken

spoiledgirls · 02-10-2008, 07:27 PM

I feel so bad! I will have to remember never to do that!

mypreciouspups · 02-10-2008, 07:27 PM

omg, that is so terrible.. I could not even imagine that.. I worry so much about my baby's and everyone thinks I am nuts...
I am so sorry for this happening.

oh my how sad.prayers for your friend.

aarnold808 · 02-10-2008, 07:31 PM

Ohh, thank you for this. I was just wondering if I should leave Teddy's collar on? I normally don't, but this makes me reaffirm that my decision to leave it off (except while on walks) is the best idea. Poor baby. RIP.

that is so sad. I can not even imagine how your friend feels

mminichan · 02-10-2008, 07:37 PM

I am so sorry for your friend! RIP little angel!! I would suggest using collartag if you want your pup to have a collar on all the time. It is much safer and it wouldn't get caught with anything. http://www.boomerangtags.com/store/list.php?A=G&ID=5

My heart goes out to your friend that is so sad and i want to thank you for the warning as i am sure it will save many furbabies i for one will not let mine wear a collar unless they are going outside and that will just be so they will have their tags on.

Prayers going out to your friend

I am so sorry about your friends loss. I hope this helps others from having such a horrible tradedy. Prayers for your friend thru her time of sadness.

Perroamor · 02-10-2008, 10:00 PM

I am going to take the collar off right now..Thank you

I am so sorry for that puppy and for your friend. I am very paranoid and don't leave anything on my dogs when they are left in the crate. I've heard of this happening before...I remember it happening to a YT member little yorkie also.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! Poor little pup

I always used breakaway collar when I am not home. So if the collar gets stuck on something it just breaks off very easy and not harm the baby.
