They just love playing with other dogs (Tippy does better with other animals in neutral territory, of course...). But if I knew that they'd do ANYTHING to another animal, I'd have them on-leash with a nice strong collar and leash. Makes you wish that everyone knew a lot about dogs, doesn't it?

Tell me about it! I only really allow Sarge with me off leash. He's extremely friendly to other dogs anyhow, but never runs off unless I tell him its okay and to go say hello. He will sit and watch the dog, and whine to go say hello, but I tell him 'stay' and he will sit patiently unti the dog is gone. He actually just likes to catch lizzards out front, plus I'm always cautious while outside. I always check and look to see if anyone is comming.. I'm very sensitive to noises and see things pretty easily... there was only one time I had my back turned and he ran to another dog walking by, my fault :\ I apologized to the owner and it was all good...

I wish they made a class in highschool to take on Animal or atleast dog behaviour. I'd take it in a heart beat

Bailey is fine today. She isn't acting any different. The scratch doesn't look so bad now that I cleaned it off. The only thing I worry about is Bailey being fearful of other dogs and getting aggressive herself. She was pretty scared last night. I should probably take her to the park soon so she can play with other dogs, get back on the horse so to speak.

On behalf of all decent Yorkies (and Yorkie owners) everywhere, Cozy sends apologies and condolences to Bailey. I'm glad she's wasn't badly hurt.

Awwww, I don't blame the yorkie, he was the cutest little thing! I am mad at it's owner for knowing his dog doesn't get along with other dogs and letting him off leash on a public street with traffic. Bailey didn't get hurt very badly, she just got scared. I just can't help but think what if Bailey was not so submissive, she could have easily done more damage to the yorkie. He was so tiny and Bailey out weighed the little guy by at least 6-8 pounds. What would the owners think then?
Tell Cozy that Bailey says thanks though! LOL
