ALTHOUGH what happened to the Yorkie who was killed in Central Park is very sad, the dog should not have been allowed to run up to onleash dogs.
I never ever allow any of my dogs to pester leashed dogs; they are on the lead for a reason. perhaps the dog is aggressive, in training, disabled, injured, old etc.
The minute the Staffie's owner shouted "no" surely you would recall your dog?
A similar case happened last year with a Chihuahua, who was mauled to death by a dog on lead.
My sympathies go out to the owner, but no crime has been committed.
