Pit bull attacks, kills Yorkshire terrier, woman says

WISCONSIN -- A small dog was killed Sunday night after the owner said it was attacked by a pit bull.

Rebecca Lulling owned a small Yorkshire terrier named Millie.

Lulling said Millie got out of the house Sunday night as the pit bull was being walked nearby. Millie went over to the pit bull and was attacked, Lulling said.

She said the pit bull was on a leash, but the owner could not control it.

Lulling said the pit bull’s owners don’t think they did anything wrong because Millie wasn’t leashed.

Lulling said she not only fears for the safety of her dogs, but also her kids.

The owner of the pit bull got a $187 citation, was given a letter saying the dog is a dangerous animal and has been ordered to spay the dog.
