Your right there, my mum has a yorkie, he acts like a baby with any adult, but we never leave him alone around children just in case.

After what happened a couple of years ago at the same time of year, you would think some people would learn.

I dont know where the aunty was all I know is it said that she tried to get the baby from the dogs mouth.

I think the owners and the childs parents are the ones that should be put down who in their right mind would leave a child of any age alone with any large breed dog ????? Its just plain idiotic

So now yet another dog looses its life and breed gets a worse name because of the stupidity of humans


rant over sorry lol

Extremely sad and tragic case yet again.......what I also get annoyed with is the law itself.....if a dog attacks a human, it's put down, but when a dig attacks another dog the law does nothing, I'm not saying I want dogs putting down, far from it....but it is a sad fact the the powers that be STILL do not see animals on the terms as they would a human life ......

I think a very common mistake people fall on is that they see a particular dog and go 'oohh i like that one' but they do not really know anything as such about the actual breed of dog they are wanting or getting, and one thing that annoys the hell out of me is that you get the stronger breeds and the breeds that were bred for specific purposes many years ago in a household where people think it's cool to play the sort of games that may well bring out the dominant or even aggressive side of the dog as people cannot read potential signs....they just think its fun at the time not realising that they are teaching the dog that dominance or aggression is rewarded........

Not saying this is the case here, as I know nothing about the facts of this case, other than it is very sad and tragic and would not wish this upon anybody......

we have a rotty and a german shepherd as well as lurchers etc any sign of aggression from any dog and its out the door.not sticking up for big breeds but you never hear about the collies, jack russels and labradors etc that bite people ive only ever got bit by a dog and that was a jack russel when i was a kid.

ANY breed, no matter how big or small has to potential to be naughty and aggressive, whether its a yorkie, poodle, or lab or bullmastiff etc etc......if you don't channel the dogs energy in the correct way then I'm afraid your already on the way in setting up for a fall.......I agree, you tend to hear about the larger, stronger breeds on the news but the smaller breeds can be just as bad, but because of their appearance people overlook it or for soem reason find it funny......oh dear

Well said the most aggresive dog i have ever met was a lil chiwawa (rubbish at spelling lol) and belive me it would have had your throat if it was big enough very aggressive little dog

it's usually the case that small dogs have short man syndrome and are much more aggressive than larger dogs as they have to stick up for themselfs.
