1 Answer

Answer :

Small dogs are like cats, they can slink through any fence, makes it tough. In those cases, after once or twice being scared too death you’ve lost your pet, people should think about leashing or at least watching small pets when outside. So inattentive owners is always the final verdict for me, you got to be smarter than your dog.
