Dogsey

Well my story is not very nice I am afraid. I pressed in words and it sent me to this site. Last nite, my 4 and a half year old siberian husky, my 8 year old daughter and myself were on my front lawn. The dog was running her laps enjoying herself and playing with my daughter, I was sitting on the lawn checking them. My dog has always stayed within our territory of the front lawn, I have never put a leash on her as I am always there next to her. A lady was about 15 ft from us when Princess and I saw her and she was walking a tiny dog. Princess ran up to the dog and shook it. I screamed at her at the top of my lungs and she released the dog. I put Princess in the house and went back outside. The owner, an elderly woman, was crying so much and the dog was yelping. The lady asked me to bring her to the vets, so me and my daughter and the woman and dog all went to the vets. I explained in the car that my dog has never shown such behaviour, we were all very emotional. The vet took the dog right away. I waited for a while but was not been given any news. The lady called her daughter, it was going to be a long wait, I was being looked at like a murderess for being the owner of a big dog that attacked a small dog. I gave the woman taxi fare if her daughter were to not show up and left her my phone number and me and Alexandra left. I sat outside, totally in despair. A neighbour came to see me and told me that dogs were predatory and she went for the little dog as if it was a squirrel. Or, that seeing my dog often took the heads off of my daughters furry play animals, she was re-enacting the same act. Today, I went back to the vets to find out what had happened after I left. I was told the dog was paralysed and had been put to sleep. I came home thinking that if the woman lost her dog it was only fair for me to lose mine and that Princess was a murdering dog. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated as I do not know if I should keep Princess or have her put down also. Thankyou Linda
