you think acting responsibly is those owners telling us they will take OUR number? as if we'd ever hear from them again!! they should have offered THEIR number to us. our dog's eye is a total mess and she might have neurological damage according to the opthalmologist. she is on 4 medications and in a lot of pain. :(

AGAIN (for those who cannot read and comprehend), the owners said their dog was ok to play BEFORE we approached. we would never approach without an ok. it is their fault and their fault alone. their dog immediately attacked ours - she never had a chance. they should muzzle the dog or they won't be as lucky next time i'm sure.

THANK YOU mercyme. oh i don't worry about those who like to try to upset people with their ridiculous posts. i am a newbie posting but not a newbie reading these. ;) they won't even get a response from me. :)))))

yes, both dogs leashed. they just greeted each other and the big dog immediately growled and picked her up. the owners said it was ok for dogs to meet each other before it happened.

the point of the post is to warn people about this dog. geesh.

Yesterday our little 7 lb. dog (yorkie) was picked up in the middle of her body by a medium/large sized dog. It picked her up in the air about 2.5-3 feet high. Luckily she had her coat on so there doesn't seem to be any bodily damage. However, her eye was scratched and a little bloody. We are taking her to vet this AM because her eye closed up overnight - dried puss (don't think anymore blood though). It could just be from trauma but we need to be sure it isn't infected.

The owners didn't seem much help. The girl helped get our dog away from their dog. Male/female couple in their late 20s(?). He had dark hair and she has blonde hair/blue eyes - both about 5'8" tall. Dog was black with white spot. Couldn't even guess the breed as it all happened too quickly. There was a cop nearby who drove over and a vet ran out of 77 Hudson where incident occurred to check her. We didn't exchange information. They wanted to take our number and also offered to by her a new collar. I hope when we see them again, they will do the right thing and pay the vet bill from today. That is all we ask - that they do the right thing and be decent human beings. We shall see.

Just wanted neighborhood to be aware. Please be careful with your little ones!! :)
