this is a cool story,,,,I would die if anything happened to my dog....she was almost kiiled ny a pit bull once and she is a little Maltese,,,,she hates all other dogs now except her mate,,another Maltese....He was there and if he was not in my arms at the time he would have gone after the Pitbull to attack him...she was only saved because she had on a thick leather collar that belonged to our bigger dog that was tripled on her neck and a huge fluffy sweater,,,,he shook her violently for a minute and let go for a second at which time she took off for the woods (we were camping with family) It was night and when we finally saw her coming out of the woods she came out on the other side of a pond and entered the water to get to us,,,,she almost drowned ...had it not been for my daughter who went into save her.she would not be here today....
