I can't agree more. Anytime there are multiple dogs of different sizes, extra
precaution should be taken. Because even accidents can happen simply from a
larger dog being playful, and stepping accidentally on the smaller one. This
is just awful, you would honk after losing the first little one, they would
have become extremely careful. Just makes me sick.
