VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: Some may find the video disturbing. Animal control officers in Seaside are looking for a husky involved in a vicious dog attack that was caught on camera.
Animal control officers in Seaside are looking for a husky involved in a vicious dog attack that was caught on camera.
In the video, a small Yorkie is seen being bitten and grabbed by a husky. Officials want to find the husky before it attacks again.
Sophie, a 3-year-old Yorkie, is now missing after being snatched up by a large husky that was on the loose in a Seaside neighborhood.
"She was very cute. Everyone there loved her," said a witness.
"Sophie's a small dog. There's no way she's out running or outmaneuvering the dog. There's nothing that she could have done," said another witness.
Sophie was outside with her owner when the husky came running around another apartment. The husky caught up with Sophie and viciously shook her in its mouth. The owner felt helpless in the moment.
"She looked me in the eyes, as if waiting to be saved, but I was afraid the husky might attack me," said the owner, who does not want to be identified. "When I went looking for a stick, the husky ran off with Sophie in its mouth."
"We want her back. We want to find her, locate her. We just want to know for closure," said a family member.
Animal control with Seaside PD is now involved and hoping neighbors near Francis and Canyon Del Rey, where the attack happened, will be on the lookout for the husky before it attacks again.
"This dog was clearly not hunting for the first time because it went right after Sophie, chased her, grabbed her, and shook her in its mouth as soon as it got her. It seems, sadly, that this husky has had experience with this kind of stuff before," said an animal control officer.
The Seaside family is now resigned to the possibility that Sophie isn't coming home.
"We all have already accepted the fact that she is most likely not with us anymore. And that hits pretty deep. I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else," said a family member.

Watch out where the huskies go....
That little Yorkie must’ve been terrier-fied.
She was studying for her GED
was always helpful to everyone in the neighborhood
Was an aspiring rapper
Oh wait. Sorry. Wrong emotive topic....
Maybe it was pit bull in a mask.
I’ve never known a Husky to be mean. They’re usually sort of stupid, beautiful and friendly.
Ironically, it’s the Yorkies that terrify me. My Mom had one when I was a toddler, and he was kind of a jerk. They terrify me.
My dogs are the supposed mean ones: rotties, dobies, Sheps. It’s all about training. My rottie sent me to the hospital only once— when she brushed past me through a doorway and bent my knee inward and gave me a partial tear of my medial meniscus.
Think of the once scene in Galaxy Quest where they’re maneuvering in the docking bay and side swipes the side of the bay.
But I have never heard of Husky’s being vicious. Beautiful and stupid, yes. But mean? No. But... there are so many factors that go into a dog’s temperment.
And while I don’t like Yorkies, I hope the poor little pup is okay.
Agreed with your take on huskies.
“When I went looking for a stick, the husky ran off with Sophie in its mouth.” Sophie’s Choice?
The Husky didn’t have to be mean, just hungry.
Some may not like my comments but here they are. I’ve owned 3 Siberians. By nature they are not aggressive dogs. Heck, they rather lick your face than anything else. They are also fantastic with children and a deterrent to bad guys because they don’t wage their tail and have a face like a wolf. On the other hand, many smaller dogs (or yappers as I like to call them) will tease/provoke larger dogs like huskies. Some owners think it’s cute. Huskies, like shepherds, get pissed off. So I have to avoid that smaller dogs, while the larger ones are playful.
Might have been a Malamute. Most people can not tell them apart.
I’m not watching the film.
But some dogs have a greater prey instinct which is brought out by the size of the other animal.
Small dogs are sometimes seen as prey (as if they were a rabbit or squirrel) while a dog that is closer in size is not.
While some breeds do not have strong prey instincts, that doesn’t guarantee that a member of that breed will not.
She was afraid the other dog might attack her???? Are you kidding me? Come at one of my dogs and I’ll KILL. No hesitation. Man or beast, I don’t care. And yes, I am always armed.
You forgot:
“She would light up any room she entered!”
Actually they are common biters but infrequently killers although two years ago one killed a baby here in TN
They are arguably along with Malamutes natures most beautiful dogs but they are one owner attachment dogs and aloof
It’s not my business but I prefer more social dogs like Rotts
Although they love to sleep lol
Huskies have a high prey drive. If you get their prey drive going, they can’t help themselves.
It was one of UCONN’s ferals.
That Husky was starving. BADLY. HANGRY HUSKY !!
I researched this
Been several children and babies killed by Huskies past ten years USA
14 humans killed by Huskies 2005-2019
Somewhat alarming considering not a terribly common breed like pits rotts and Teutonic shepherd styles breeds
I’m surprised
Huskies - U of W in Seattle. Liberal. Will attack small, English residents.
