This Morning when I was taking Chachi and Jewels for a walk in my neighborhood we came across a man with a small terrrier dog. We let them sniff each other then they got tangled in each others leashes and the other dog started to growl then bite on Chachi. The other dog was smaller than Chachi. Chachi didnt bite back. We got them separated and went our separate ways. The other owner said his dog is very territorial. My two were just excited to see another dog their size. The rest of our walk was uneventful

Wow! At least everything turned out okay. I sure if you weren't "really awake" before the walk that that woke you up!

My daughter was walking our yorkie Duke around the block last spring. She was just around the block walking on the side of the road when a big german shepard came running between 2 houses, growling, showing his teeth and grabbed Duke by the head!! He had Duke's head and half of this body in his mouth, and started to viciously attack him. My daughter let out a scream so loud, it was actual heard 3 blocks away!! She held on to the leash, lunged for Duke, hit the big dog on the head and pulled Duke out of his mouth!

She held Duke and tried to calmly walk back to our house, with the big dog following her and growling all the way. Well, her scream alerted all the neighbors who ran to her, some called the police. By the time she and Duke walked in the back door, my phone was ringing, people were running to my house and the police pulled into the driveway.

Thank goodness for good people and prompt action from them and the police. She could have been mauled by this dog! Neighbors called later and came by that saw the attack to make sure everyone was fine. I filed a complaint against the woman who lets her aggressive dog run loose. The police said they have other complaints and he went to warn her that the next time her dog was seen not leashed or confined, he would be taken from her. The people that live around her have small children and they won't even let them ride their bikes because of this dog!
I don't know what ever happened to the dog, but now we take a differrent route when we walk our dogs, along with a whistle and a can of pepper spray!

Oh I am so sorry that happened to Duke. Luckily I havent came accross a big dog off leash in my neighborhood. I dont know what I would do because picking my two up at the same time is kinda hard.

Wow, that sure was frightful . . . . Duke could have died.

As for Chachi, am so glad to hear nothing came out of it. . . .whew!

How scary. I have had bigger dogs come at me when walking my other yorkie. I think the pepper spray is a good idea. I am going to get some.
