Dog Walker's Golden Lab Crushes Curious Yorkie in Tragic Incident

OAK CREEK, WI — A curious Yorkshire Terrier died when it ran out to see two dog walkers on June 4.

According to Oak Creek police, a couple was walking their dogs near the intersection of S. Howell Ave. and E. Fairfield Dr. on the morning of June 4, when a Yorkshire on the 100 block of W. Fairfield Drive saw the dog walkers and ran out to see what was happening.
