Virginia: Yorkie named Mickey shaken "like a rag doll" by neighbor's pit bull

VIRGINIA -- I'd like everyone to pray for my roommate precious little Yorkie named Mickey as he was attacked by my neighbors pit bull that got out of his fence.

Shelia was sitting on my front porch holding her pup and she said that the dog came out of no where and shook her poor Mickey like a rag doll, she hit the dog on its head until it let go of her baby.

The pit got her on the hand and Mickey's legs and front part of his body was bleeding real bad. I came out to help, because Shelia was screaming for me.

We called the owner which the dog had tags. He came down and got his dog. So I took Shelia and Mickey to the Emergency vet at Charter Colony and the doc said that they where going to check him over, start pain meds, antibiotics and x-rays. They're going to transport him to Cary street emergency vet in the morning for a surgeon to look at his leg. The owner of the pit bull is paying for everything. Hope he's ok ❤️ he is such a sweet little baby.

Donna Berry This happened to my yorkie. It was $4,000.00 and the place to go is on broad Street. They have a good surgeon that does legs.


Donna Berry Broad Street vet. My dog is fine. Long process. Same kind of dog that attacked my dog.

Suzanne Barr I hope he gets better soon. That person should be turned in for letting his dog loose. How many other dogs is it going to hurt or people?

Lindsey Palmen I'm so sorry that happened! I'm glad the pit bull owner is going to pay for everything. I would suggest calling animal control though. That dog sounds very dangerous!

Don't just let it go because the owner paid the vet bill. You need to do a police report about it. Try to get restrictions on the dog. At the very least, it'll be on file so that when it happens again, they'll know this dog has a history of vicious behavior.
